Just curious. I got to do a good in and out inspection of a working
trimotor at Orofino Idaho in 1953 or 1954. What I saw in the clip
didn't quite match up with my reccollection, mainly it didn't seem big
enough. Is the bushmaster full sized or a scaled down version??
There were other things that made me wonder about it but the clip was
too fast and not enough detail to check out.

There's a pretty good description of the breed at

Hey, thanks! Looks like my rememberances of the old gal was (to put
it mildly) exagerated. I remembered it as being a 'huge' aircraft
whereas by todays standards it isn't very big at all.

I don't know about that, Harry. We were down at the NWAAC fly-in at
McMinnville airport last month. There was a Ford Tri-motor on display with a
P-51 parked next to it - under the wing! It made the P-51 look like a toy.
