Was it the EAA Trimotor that crashed yesterday in the Merced(sp) Flyin???

No, it was a Bushmaster. This is a "Ford trimotor" like aircraft built fairly recently.
The EAA's was an original 30's era Ford. It's hard to tell the difference, but one key
difference is that the original ones have a control bellcrank external to the fuselage right
below the pilot's window. The Bushmaster has all that stuff rigged internally.
