Default Ford Trimotor for sale

Airworthy Ford Trimotor.

She is a Beauty.

WWII connection, you ask? She was at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941.

It is interesting how air museums value their aircraft. At Fantasy of Flight they have both a Ford TriMotor and a Stinson TriMotor. The Ford is 1.5 million and the Stinson is only $600,000.

Fantasy of Flight, World's Greatest Aircraft Collection 1929 New Standard Biplane Rides

I suppose the Fokker TriMotor crash killed off the popularity of the trimotors along with the DC-3.

I was wondering what the gear shift looking thing is in the Ford cockpit ? Control lock ?

Really? But a Stinson should be much more rare, isn't it?
