Former NX19421, *the registration "SE-AGM" was "borrowed" from an Areonca C-3 (from Backmans hometown in Sweden, Leksand) and used by swedish-american Carl Backman for an attempt to fly between US and Sweden. Planned flight: St.Louis-Bangor-Gander-Rommehed.
A great number of kerosene lights was burning at Rommehed airfield (the landing was expected to be during night) but he never reached Rommehed (Borlänge), Sweden and no traces was ever found.
