Default Right seat in the Tri-Motor

Got to fly right seat in the EAA's Ford Tri-Motor this afternoon. Quite an
experience.

It's such a low speed, high lift aircraft, it seems to literally leap into
air with 10 to 15 kts down the runway. It felt like I was flying an 11 seat,
1350 hp ultralight.

It's certainly the most unusual endorsement in my log book. Thought I would
mention it, and see what some of your favorite log entries were among the
group.



You're right. That Tri-motor wing takes lift seriously :-))
My most unusual entry would have to be the "Breezy". Sitting up there in
a dining room chair out in the open at altitude has to be one of my more
"memorable moments" in aviation :-))
