For Christmas, my son Keegan gave me a certificate for a "right seat" ride, as a co-pilot, in EAA's Ford Trimotor. I was able to do so during Ariventure Saturday, July 28 only because I was a licensed pilot. Virtually unedited, handheld.
I wish you had shown us the pilot operating the controls. I know what an airfield looks like, I know what the sky looks like, but I don't know and deeply wish to know what the controls being operated on a trimotor looks like. There were some lovely shots of the window frame and the pilot's chin, various rivets and other bland metal parts. But nothing of actual flying. Aren't YOU interested in how its flown?
Flew shotgun in this Baby 3 years ago, What an INCREDIBLY AWESOME KICKASS experience it was!!! I even got to throttle the engines up for takeoff, That was the BEST part of all for me!!!!

Much of the skin is corrugated, however skinning on the engine mounts, wing leading edges is smooth for less drag.
