Got to fly right seat in the EAA's Ford Tri-Motor this afternoon. Quite an
experience.

It's such a low speed, high lift aircraft, it seems to literally leap into
air with 10 to 15 kts down the runway. It felt like I was flying an 11 seat,
1350 hp ultralight.

It's certainly the most unusual endorsement in my log book. Thought I would
mention it, and see what some of the favorite log book entries were among
the
group. What is your personal favorite?

Easy to understand. I don't think I would have brought it back!!
