This aircraft was operated by Mercer Airlines and was still in their colors. The âSpeed-Air Trunk Lineâ titles were applied in removable paint on the left side only when the aircraft was rented to appear in brief scenes for the 1967 movie "The Reluctant Astronaut". All of the temporary titles were removed immediately after the film scenes were completed.
