One just lumbered over me.  Don't see that too often.

There's someone from PA that likes to fly his down to the private airport here every few weeks. They are beuatiful aircraft.

Its one aircraft that if I ever had enough money I would buy one.

Beautiful works of flying art.

My dad's first plane ride was in a trimotor in 1929.  He was 10 years old.

A 36 year career as a fighter pilot followed.

Took a ride in one 35 years ago, had round back chairs, and lace curtains, a little noisy, great memories.

There's one that flies locally every summer. Very distinctive sound.

I left myself open for that, didn't I?

I believe this is an Oldsmobile, but near enough

I've got about 15 minutes in one...no landing or taking off, though.

Interesting airplane.

Yup.   Saw it over down town about 1230.   Roughly same time I saw it last week.  Been flying around Bakersfield all week.  Not sure if doing training touch and goes at Meadows or what.

SLOWER THAN SHIT...

Saw it over down town on thurs and friday and felt I could run to the airport before it got there.

I flew on one in 1972 at Lake Erie and it crashed weeks later. Just seen where they are restoring it in Michigan. I was 5 years old at the time.

Wondered where all the metal washboards went.
