It was retired, but I don’t remember where it went now (aging, so much fun). I believe the Experimental Aircraft Association owns it. It’s still around for air shows. When I was 8 years old, I got to sit in the cockpit with the pilot. It was a wonderful gesture and I later ended up getting a pilot’s license and am married to a pilot. A real life lesson that kindness by a stranger can have a profound impact on a child.

Thanks for the info... I know the units were old back then, so I figured they would be out of service..

I had a chance to fly on the EAA plane when it came to Cleveland's Burke Lakefront Airport a few years ago. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Here's a link to this year's remaining schedule. It was well worth the price, I'm only sorry that I didn't go up a second time. http://www.airventuremuseum.org/fordtrimotor/
