Description
The new model was slightly larger than the basic Model 6000. The cabin was sound-proofed and offered comfortable accommodation for six passengers with easily removable seats for bulky cargo. Northwest Airlines, Central Air Lines, and Overland Airways used this type of aircraft in their early years because of the demands of these and other airlines for a single-engined cabin monoplane with extra performance enough to help hold a competitive advantage with higher cruising speeds and a faster climb-out. It was an answer to an on-coming need for a performance that would enable these lines to advertise and to offer faster and more frequent service.
Some 25 examples of this model were built. Today, only 2 survive in flyable condition.
