Airshow!
I decided to go to the Discover Aviation Days airshow today at the Anoka County-Blaine airport.Piper PA-12
Grumman Guardian control-line model
T-6's!
One of the coolest things I got to see was the Golden Wings Air Museum. It's usually not open to the public, but it is this weekend.
Waco CUC-1
Cunningham-Hall PT-6F, one of six ever built and the only complete one left
Keystone K-84 Commuter
Aeronca C-3
Fleetwings Seabird
Taylor Aerocar
Aerocar interior
Stearman YPT-9
Avro Avian
One of the biggest draws of the museum is that the guy owns five different kinds of tri-motors:
Kreutzer Air Coach K-5, the only surviving Kreutzer tri-motor
Stinson SM-6000-B, the oldest surviving American Airlines airliner
Stinson Model A, the only surviving low-wing tri-motor Stinson
This Ford Tri-Motor is the oldest surviving one, and it has been flown by both Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart.
So what do you do when your Ford Tri-Motor becomes all old and busted? You turn it into the new hotness, a Bushmaster 2000, a re-engineered and re-engined Ford.
