I hear, by the way, that the Ford Trimotor that used to reside in the
hangar ended up in southern california, and crashed at Fullerton airport
in 2004.
I thought that it went to Kermit Weeks' Fantasy of Flight. Next time I
go there, I will check for it.
The Trimotor that crashed at Fullerton was N750RW.
Digging around a little, the Trimotor sold by Perlitch to Weeks was
NC9651.
http://aerofiles.com/ford-locator.html says it's in Florida
currently, and thought to be flyable.
So it looks like the article I found saying the Fullerton loss was the
old Morgan Hill Trimotor was probably wrong, unless aerofiles list uses
the original civil registration number whether or not a given aircraft
has been reregistered with new numbers.
