With this aircraft model, Iberia inaugurated on December 14, 1927, the first Barcelona-Madrid airlift and vice versa.
At half past nine in the morning the Rohrbach trimotor registration M-CAAC took off from Prat, with six passengers on board.
When flying over the lands of Aragon, they were surprised by a snow storm that forced their pilot to deviate from their route until they reached Soria, where they had to land in a meadow in the town of Almazán. Once the storm subsided, the flight was resumed, delaying its arrival in Madrid.
Meanwhile, in Madrid, H.M. King Alfonso XIII, presided over the official ceremony of the flight to Barcelona, in the twin plane M-CBBB, which with nine passengers, took off at half past twelve, arriving in Barcelona at seven minutes past four.
