NC205Y
This aircraft is suspended near Gate B21 on Concourse B. A plaque below reads:
The Alexander Airplane Company built 893 Eaglerock aircraft in Englewood and then in Colorado Springs between 1926 and 1932. During that time, more aircraft were built in Colorado than anywhere in the world. This airplane, from its construction in 1930 to the early 1940's, carried mail and passengers from Rapid City, S.D. Eaglerocks were popular throughout the United States and many foreign countries. They were used as photographic platforms and crop sprayers, for barnstorming and even competitive air racing. Members of the Anitque Airplan Association of Colorado and Bayport, N.Y., restored NC205Y over 25 years, ending in 1989. This gift to the City & County of Denver honors the pioneering spirit of the West during the Golden Era of Aviation.
