This airplane is a Stearman C-3B, manufactured on April 25, 1928 as a Stearman company demonstrator. One notable is that it competed in the 1928 Edsel Ford Reliability Air Tour. It placed 17th piloted by D.P.Levy who may be a pilot signed n the Peterson Field Register.

NC5084 landed twice at Glendale, first on April 14, 1931 at 3:21PM, and then on May 4, 1931 at 12:22PM. It was operated by "Phoenix-Los Angeles Express" (no Google results). If you know anything about Phoenix-Los Angeles Express, please let me KNOW.

The registration for the airplane was canceled in 1937 because it was destroyed in an accident. Photographs of the accident are at the technography page linked below.

In addition to its two landings at Glendale, NC5084 was flown one time each into Clover Field, the Davis-Monthan Airfield and to Parks Field in East St. Louis, IL. The technography for NC5084 is online at the Davis-Monthan Register Web site at the link.
