Got some stick time in a '29 Ford Tri Motor at Oshkosh

Friend of mine hauls rides in EAA's 1929 Ford Tri Motor every year during EAA Airventure at Oshkosh. This year I got to fly as co-pilot for three rounds. I got to fly it quite a bit during these short hops. It is a big loud lumbering turd LOL. I believe there are only about 4 of these still flying.

Basically these were the first airliners and were built between 1925 and 1933 but soon became obsolete when the Douglas DC1 and DC2's came out.

Very thankful for the opportunity to get some "stick" time (actually a big round steering wheel) in such an old rare iconic bird.
