[QUOTE="Stroszek, post: 10101431, member: 74251"] I'm on my way home from work yesterday when I caught out of the corner of my eye what was unmistakably a Ford Tri-Motor resting at the small local airport. Not having my camera with me, I made up my mind to return in hopes of getting a few pictures. Knowing very little about this aircraft, I did a little research when I got home and, according to Wikipedia (I am considering the source), there are only 18 remaining in existence. Only 6 of of which are in flying condition. I went back this morning and am successful at getting a few pics and return home and do a little research on the tail number. Tail # NC 9610. It is not among the 6 listed flyable aircraft on Wikipedia but I'm pretty certain this aircraft flew in on it's own. I did a little more searching and am surprised to find the following on this particular tail number. [url=http://aviationregister.biz/AeroGallery.html]Headlines[/url] [youtube_browser]c6dWtDk_rOI[/youtube_browser] I never expected this awkward and cumbersome looking plane could perform such maneuvers. [ATTACH=full]113488[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]113489[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]113490[/ATTACH] I haven't been able to glean any more history on this particular plane but is it safe to assume this is the same plane as in the early 30's video above? Anybody know where I can obtain more reliable information on the subsequent history of this aircraft? I keep getting links to the same YouTube videos. [/QUOTE]
