I've always liked how the Tri-Motor looks like a flying silo with its corrugated tin-looking skin. Wink

I was hoping for some interior shots... well done. Grin

So I'm dying to know: did you manage to hold your altitude while turning? I've found that the lag alone makes turning the FS9 Ford quite an interesting experience, and the rudder is like an afterthought- hard to tell when to push on it, or how much.
I really ought to spring for some right-seat time in that Ford when I go to Oshkosh this year...I'll be sure to bring my logbook. Grin

Jared, You just made up my mind for me, last year at Oshkosh we send my Dad up in the B-17, this year I think I'll send him up in the Tri-motor with Sean. Grin

thanks for the shots, Mark

it is a very pleasurable ride at least from my point of view, even the passengers in the back had a pretty good view as each seat is a window seat
