    I love Indiana Jones too! In first movie was very interesting bi-float plane. Your plane looks fantastic. I'm impressed!

    Came out really great, my friend @gblair!
    Liked a lot those exhaust collector rings: they add a lot to realism, especially at cases like the Trimotor, where the engines are totally exposed.
    Thanks for the ride!

    The Ford turned out really nice George @gblair … has a nice “ used & abused” look to it. Several years ago one visited Tulsa’s Riverside Airport. My youngest daughter and I took a flight on it..it was a very interesting experience. As I recall the seats were made of wicker. Was certainly worth the $60 each price.

    Sounds like a cool and fun flight, Jay (@ssgt). I have seen photos of the Trimotor interior that have wicker seats. Like everything else on the plane, there were many options and changes made by the owners. I would think that wicker would save a lot of weight, but wouldn't be all that great in a crash.
