EAA believes only about 6 are airworthy but this is the only one that flies full time taking people for rides. One is in Tn. Our pilot will be there this weekend flying it. One which has serial #10 is for sale for $3.5 million. Pocket change for a guy like yourself. EAA has serial #69 and only charges $75 to go up....$70 if paid in advance.
My two brothers and I had opportunity to fly in this bird last Saturday. Eddie Rickenbacker bought this one and formed what would become Eastern Airlines using it to fly mail and passengers. He promised to get people from New York to California in 48 hours. This was done by train out of New York to Ohio. There the trimotor took passengers to Oklahoma making several fuel stops. In Oklahoma a train was waiting to take them past the mountains of New Mexico. Another trimotor waited to complete the trip. The reason for the trains.... the trimotor could not fly over mountains nor at night.
Thanks, Sailor
You always have an encouraging word

For the second time this year, I'm getting a "Spin and Win" scam pop up every time I open Hedgehog.
I will regretfully cease using U H if this can't be stopped.
Please help. Anyone else having this issue?

Shot this fuel tanker on Thursday in Arkansas. Painted to look like a coffee tanker. Gave me a smile.
