I had the honor to fly co-pilot on this paticular Tri-Motor back in the early 90's. I'm sad that it is no longer being flown. The Kalamazoo History Museum is a must see.

Saw Evergreen's beautiful Tri-Motor (NC9645) in 2002 when she made a stop at Mojave Airport, either on the way to Las Vegas or on the way home. Can't remember the month. Can someone help? Thanks.
