Delta Air Corporation owned the plane (now in the Southern Museum of Flight), eventually ferrying single passengers from one Southeastern state to another (a chair for the passenger was placed in the bin where the pesticide was usually kept). Delta Airlines was born as Huff Daland Dusters, Incorporated, an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_application" title="Aerial application">aerial crop dusting operation on May 30, 1924, in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macon,_Georgia" title="Macon, Georgia">Macon, Georgia.
