[Mark K3MSB]

In the late 1980's my wife and I flew into some airport in northeastern OH;
ATC told me I was cleared to land after the Tri-Motor!    THAT Got my head
snapped in a hurry!!   We landed and the Tri-Motor pilot gave me a nice
tour.....

Doesn't the place out in CA with the Queen Mary have the Short Solyent
flying boat?  Someone had one in CA in the late 80's,  and I lost track of
it.
