Some pics and video from our venture to see a Ford Trimotor yesterday. (Some of the transitions are choppy - not sure why that happened after upload to Youtube).

Were they giving visitors rides in the aircraft?
Nicely done Basil.
I had a ride in the tri-motor some years ago at the EAA Show in Oshkosh, WI.
True story. Summer 1965. me, a student pilot, less than 20 hours, flying Piper Colt - 2 seat version of Tri-Pacer with no flaps, practicing touch and goes at Westchester County Airport in White Plains (KHPN). Downwind leg. Called tower. "You'll be following a Ford Tri-Motor turning base to final". Huh? I thought it was the twilight zone, but there it was, probably flying slower than I was.
