Victory Air Museum in Port Clinton is building a brand new trimotor from the original plans. I don't know if it's done yet, but they've been working on it for years.
Then one can only hope that this will be realized. Lufthansa bought 3 Lockheed Constellation a few years ago to make 1 flying plane out of it. After about 3/4 year, unfortunately, the project had to be ended because the costs were sky-rocketing in exorbitant heights.



Previously, a three-engined Ju 52 was restored by Lufthansa. Today again with the old flag D-AQUI organized flights over fields and meadows.
