The Vega on display at the Airbase Arizona Aviation Museum is on loan from John Magoffin. It is the sole survivor of just nine examples built by the Detroit Aircraft Corporation as part of the DL-1 series (for “Detroit Lockheed”)

Guess I will need to make another trip to Falcon Field in the very near future! The Vega looks spectacular but am I the only one who thinks it looks like it belongs in a Disney "Planes" movie? :D
