What a lovely aircraft, thanks for posting that.

J Boyle – you are a lucky man to have had a flight in something so rare.
I certainly am.
I always like the Boeing 40, and the ability spend 4 years working on the only one outside a museum was a real privilege.
Addison Pemberton is to be congratulated for his determination and efforts.
He worked very long and very hard to make a flying 40 a reality.

I saw that magnificent aircraft at Oshkosh last year – very impressive to see such a big biplane so beautifully restored. J Boyle – you are a lucky man to have had a flight in something so rare.

Great aircraft, it’s been flying since Feb, 2008 and has 2-3 hundred hours on it. Last September, it re-traced the original trancontinental airmail route from New York to San Francisco.
The restorer-owner-pilot Addison Pemberton, flies it a great deal and has taken it to many events…it’s not a roped-off museum piece.
I played a (very) minor role in the restoration and enjoyed a flight in it last year…
