Pilgrim 100-B N709Y, Historic aircraft at Alaska Aviation Museum, Anchorage, United States.

The Pilgrim 100-B N709Y is a single-engine Fairchild 100 Pilgrim built in 1932 by the American Airplane & Engine Corporation, one of only ten of the type produced. It is a flying exhibit of the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum, which acquired it in 2001 and moved it to Anchorage.

Built in 1932 by the American Airplane & Engine Corporation as a Fairchild 100 Pilgrim, this aircraft is one of only ten of the type produced. It carried mail, passengers and supplies across Alaska in the early days of territorial aviation. When listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, it was the last flightworthy Pilgrim, based at Dillingham Airport. The Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum acquired it in 2001 and keeps it as a flying exhibit.

The aircraft's registration, N709Y, is painted on the airframe, and the museum flies it as a flying exhibit rather than keeping it static. It is one of only ten Fairchild 100 Pilgrims ever built, a type that carried mail, people and supplies to every corner of the Alaska Territory in the 1930s.

The aircraft is held at the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum in Anchorage, which acquired it in 2001 and keeps it as a flying exhibit. Visitors can walk around the airframe and read the museum's panels on its construction and the routes it flew.

When listed on the National Register in 1986, this was the last Pilgrim still flightworthy, stationed at Dillingham Airport. The Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum acquired it in 2001 and keeps it as a flying exhibit, so it is not a static display.
