  A one wheel landing isn't that difficult.

  Thanks much for making this available. I really enjoyed it. We owned at Tri-motor Stinson when I was a kid, but never did any of this with it. Reminds me of the Bob Hoover/Aero Commander routine that came along 30 years later.

  Here's a quote from a gentleman I work with at KMRT. He's actually flown these and loves them.
  "John Mohr will duplicate the act with S/N 4AT-42 which was an Island Airlines plane from the 40's to 1971 when it crashed at PCW. Greg Herrick bought it and had it restored for the upcoming aerobatic act. That airplane originally had 225 HP engines (Wright J5-9's), not 300's, but had been re-engined to 235's (Wright J6-7's) in the 40's. It's original number was N7684, but it has been re-numbered to N9610 which was Harold Johnson's aerobatic Tri-Motor. The first Ford came to Island Air in 1939 and was the last one to leave. We flew the Ford's all year, not just summer, until 1977 when the last one crashed, S/N 4AT-38, N7584. We operated it summers only after that restoration and it was sold in 1985. I was the last Island Airlines Ford pilot, flying it a little in '76 and '77, and a lot between '80 and '85. There's a little first hand history. Ed"

  The Harold Johnson that was mayor of Moraine, Ohio was born in 1925 and would have been seven years old when he started his Ford Trimotor act circa 1932 - a remarkable feat indeed, except that it is a different Harold Johnson.
