RocketAviator Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Yes Sir I logged .3 Hr as PIC in one of the Ford Tri - Motor when it stopped over at my home airport during one of its EAA tours! What a beast to fly, but oh what a bucket list flight. 4 Quote

bonal Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Too cool one of these days I would love to fly something like that. Quote
RobertGary1 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 It's a kick. When I flew on it we skipped the runway and just landed on th grass next to it. Quote
Hank Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 That was popular among the tailwheel pilots in Huntington. Quote
ryoder Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 I stood beside it at my airport. Was in the hangar where my mechanic works. I can't imagine flying something like that. Quote
Danb Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 So cool, on two occasions two different yrs I was in line at Oshkosh for a ride on the Trimotor and both times once I was next they closed due to weather....maybe this yr. Quote
carl Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Awesome , I flew the Goodyear blimp, for an hour , no one else wanted to , awesome ,my exception to your statement "a bucket list flight" is I want to do it again!!! I'd bet you will take the tri-motor up again, next time it passes through. 1 Quote

fantom Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 Very cool. Did you get type certified? Quote
carl Posted March 15, 2015 Report Posted March 15, 2015 "No one else wanted too? Huh?!" .... fly the blimp. Yeah crazy . I think there were 6 other people on board . The blimp pilot asked if anyone wanted to fly and I said sure. Everyone else was frozen in fear as he got out of his seat an said , ok take over . It really fly's itself. He asked several time , no other takers. It later crashed and burned up. so that blimps gone now. 3 Quote

StinkBug Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 "flies itself" and "crashed and burned up" in one post about the same aircraft. Well played. 1 Quote
