Thank you for recording this so well. My son won a ride today at the Flying Circus Airshow in Bealeton, VA. So exciting for him especially after visiting the Marine Corps museum this week. We know several marines who are pilots and he’s super into it all now.
I believe this particular aircraft was once owned by WWII Veteran B-25 combat pilot, Joe Miller, a veteran of the pacific campaign and a Pennsylvania resident until his passing. A great man and a great friend.
This plane was painted as were the L-3's on the 13th Air Force, the Jungle Air Force, for use in the Pacific during WWII. The empenange is painted white with the theory that if it were to crash, the nose would go in first and the white tail would be visible from above during a search. The original seat covers were sewn with the seams on the outside. I have a feeling that the upholstery was changed since it was acquired. This plane was restored, actually buiilt from many accquisitons, by Joseph Miller. Joe passed away 8 years ago. I wish the museum clear skies.

Great job, Betsy! The MAAM shirt looks great, but I'm still rooting for a WASP flight suit.
A Great video and interesting airplane wonder why it’s not being recommended for more views
Interesting; the trim is working the wrong way with a non-standard indication. Winding the handle clockwise should give you nose-down, not up.
Throttles should not have red knobs, they should be black.
