This airplane is a Boeing F3B-1. A-7729 landed three times during 1929. The first time was April 5th and the pilot was listed as Bob Starkey. He and his unidentified passenger were eastbound from Los Angeles, CA to Brownsville, TX.

The second (12/6 eastbound) and third (12/23 westbound) landings were piloted by Lt. C.O. Fisher, who listed his homebase as the U.S.S. Saratoga. He was solo both times.

At left is another view of A-7729. The dates of the images are unknown and it is not clear if both these images were taken contiguously on the same day. The shadows on the ground suggest they were not.
