Ford Trimotor at Kendall-Tamiami
A completely restored Ford Trimotor built by Ford Motor Corporation in 1929.
It served the Miami-Havana route for the predecessor of Eastern Airlines in 1929-1930. It was then sold to Cubana Airlines' precursor and for several years it carried passengers in the Havana-Santiago de Cuba route.
Later on it was sold to the Dominican Republic where it became the presidential aircraft in the 1940s.
Much later, the EAA bought it and undertook a complete 2-year restoration project to bring it back to life in its original form.
Most of it is original except the refurbished Pratt & Whitney engines and new instrumentation.
