The Anoke county air museum in central Minnesota has three Tri-motors. Last summer during their annual open house they had one flying. Very impressive. If you are ever near there it's worth your while to go through the museum. They have several rare planes. They also hosted the Collings foundation B-24 and B-17. My brother and I were lucky enough to ride the B-17. Our dad was a pilot of a B-17, flew 26 combat missions out of England. As we sat in the belly of that plane while they were doing the preflight checks before take off, I couldn't help but wonder what was going through the minds of the "real" crew as they started to roll down the runway with a load of bombs, not knowing if they would make it back. Salute to ALL who have and are serving. Rod
