    Went for my regular scheduled Helicopter lesson today @ KHWD and as I was walking out, a Ford 5-AT-B Trimotor landed and parked next to me. Way cool.

    Went for a ride in the right seat of one several years ago and it was an interesting flight. Everything seems to happen in slow motion compared to what I'm used to, it's all around 80-90mph. The thing I was most surprised about was how smooth and comfortable the ride was. Guess I was expecting more vibration.

    Very slow for sure. I remember cruising along and then dropping what felt like 10-20 feet and then we'd continue to chug right along.

    In 1970 I got a ride in the right seat of Harrah's restored Ford Tri-Motor and the flight characteristics were almost hilarious. Engine vibrations were constant at one level as was the airspeed, 90mph take off, 90 at cruise, 90 at landing and the airplane handled like flying a barn. I know, colorful description but that is what it felt like. Beautiful restoration, however, with wicker seats and dark green leather upholstery.

    The engines on the original Fords were hard mounted. I don't remember if Harrah's airplane was that way but it sure felt like it. Vibrations were harsh and hard and set up a fearful beat when they weren't in sync. The Goetingen airfoil lifted so much that it was set at a negative 3 degree angle of incidence.

    Looks like a MK-XIV Spitfire, and we all know what the other one is.

    Vancouver in some big winds. Made it home even with the nasty clouds. Some nice bumps and sideways action on take off. It felt like an aggresive ascent to avoid the low winds.

    Liked it a lot. It was our first time. Hadn't planned on going there. It was a diversion from Orlando due to Hurricane Matthew....beauty of general aviation.

    Thanks. Going to try making a video with the skeleton up front, and me as a werewolf in the back. Gotta get the skeletons head to move from the backseat. Working on it now. Hopefully a video to follow soon.

    Now that shows that you are a truly fine pilot. A person with an imagination, a sense of humor, and skills that don't necessarily embrace flying, even when you're flying. I have flown with many guys of that ilk and they make the world go 'round.
