Round 4
You got round 3. Here is round 4.
This is a two part question. What is this aircraft and why is it famous?

Navy-Curtiss NC-4 Flying Boat
The NC-4, a United States Navy flying boat constructed in 1918 by the Glenn Curtiss Company, was the first aircraft ever to complete a successful flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

NC-4 departs Trepassey Bay, Newfoundland for the first flight to Europe. Photo? L. D. Sheely.

I believe this plane, or a sister ship, is hanging in the USN museum PNS.

Looks Culver Cadet-ish.

Culver V, but I cheated. I thought it was a Culver V, but you didn't obscure the N number. Google, you know.

Ok, I've got one
Shortly after I moved to Carlsbad, in about 1981, I noticed this exact airplane based on a farm near Loving, New Mexico, at a short dirt strip.
A few years later the airplane turned up in the backyard of my next door neighbor in Carlsbad, where it remained for a number of years.
A few years later it was displayed atop a business in Carlsbad, NM.
My understanding is that it is now near Lakewood, NM.
What is it?
I'm sorry I had to steal this from a website, to maintain the mystery. In all those years I never took a picture of the airplane. I will link to the website when necessary.

Wrong Guys. Sort of a late April Fools joke. This is an original design homebuilt called a Stewart 265. You are correct tho in that it is Culver-esque.
Don Stewart, the designer, had it at OSH one year and had a ball with guys coming up to him and saying "I took my training in that airplane back in '34..."
