If you've ever had the urge to experience aviation the way it was
almost 80 years ago, this is your chance. It's just not every day
you get to fly in a 1929 Travel Air!

That is very cool. When you said 1929 Travel Air, I was thinking of a
completely different airplane. I took a ride in a '29 Travel Air about a
decade ago at an Antique Aircraft Assoc. fly-in, but it was a 6 seat 6000B
model. It looks like Travel Air was a busy airplane company in 1929. Not
only did they make the 3 seater and 6 seater, but they fielded the Mystery
Ship at the Cleveland Air Races. It's surprising how many are still in the
air.

I rode in this one :

Looks like this 6000B is still flying in Air Taxi Service in Alaska :

And you were worried about Piper supplying parts for 25 yr. old airplanes!
