Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
NC8407 (cn 4-AT-69) Nose shot. Take note that these are not the EAA Ford Trimotor's original engines. When it was restored, it was re-engined with 3x Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Juniors, rated at about 500hp each. The Ford Trimotor was originally powered by 3x Wright R-975-1 Whirlwinds, rated at about 225hp each. Therefore, the power was doubled, yet it only gained about 10mph on its cruise speed (told from an EAA staff member that helped rebuild the aircraft). July 4, 2008.
