It doesn't work for me. Just sits there trying to load.

Only sits there spinning like it's trying to load for me too.
Are the photos maybe set is hidden or something to where only you can see them? Or maybe because it's photobucket.

It's Photobucket.

This one must have been warm from a previous flght since there was no radial engine cold start crank-through and starting smoke. Didn't even have the impulse-magneto snaps.
In postwar years, the Ford Trimotors continued in limited service with small, regional air carriers. One of the most famous was the Scenic Airways Ford Trimotor N414H which was used for 65 years as a sightseeing aircraft flying over the Grand Canyon.[3] The aircraft is still in use as of late 2011, mainly for promotional and film work, though one Trimotor operator offers rides. As of October 2016, a Ford Trimotor was still being used by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to fly passengers on sightseeing tours.
That's a "Wow!" fer shore.
