They were offering rides in a 1929 Ford Trimotor at my local airport. It’s pretty impressive that they can still find parts to keep an 85 year old aircraft flying.

Had a chance to take a flight in one a few years ago - way cool ! Also flew on a few DeHaveland Beavers (a float plane not made since 1967. I'm sure there are hundreds still flying in the bush country up North) that was built in the late 40’s. I don't think the Duct Tape was an original part though.

I'm going to guess that they have a machinist make any part that breaks.
