Nice! History in flight!
Somewhere way above the sky Hugo Junkers and Anthony Fokker may still be looking down, annoyed at the Ford Trimotor!
N9645 Is reg to a 1928? Ford 5-AT-B Tri-Motor C/N 8

Flew one a few times (well supervised!). Gives new meaning to "powered controls"! (You'd better be ready to provide the power!)
I just love this. So nice to be able to see this beautiful old tri-motor still in action
That wing has some serious camber.
Back in the early to mid-80's working as a salesman for Mercury Aviation at Cuyahoga County Airport (CGF) in Ohio. I took Island Airlines Ford Trimotor aka (Tin Goose) based at Griffing Sandusky Airport Ohio in trade for a new Cessna 303 Crusader. Island Airlines had used the aircraft for Island hopping on Lake Erie. We had sold the Trimotor to a customer in Newark Ohio where he gave passenger rides. Then he moved it to Florida where he continued to give rides. If my memory serves me right a heavy Thunderstorm came along and did some serious damage where it had to be rebuilt for the second time. I did have a chance to fly it from the co-pilots seat when we took it in trade. What a great old aircraft. It had Wicker chairs old velvet cloth interior. A true passenger aircraft of its day. What a great day that was to have had a chance to fly this old Bird.
