Bushmaster Tri-Motor serial #1 (N7501V), touted as “the only Bushmaster still flying” is available for sale. The listing states (in part):
Always wanted a Tri-motor? Here’s your chance! In 1954, Bill Stout purchased the rights to the last Ford 5-AT Tri-motor design. This is Serial #1, the only Bushmaster still flying. Stout’s idea was to offer a simple, rugged passenger aircraft — he certainly succeeded. N7501V has flown from Siberia to Florida and nearly everywhere in between. ‘985 powered and tough as nails. It is available now to anyone interested in historic aircraft representing the culmination of tri-motor designs. Barnstorm around in this Unique, Fun-to-Fly, one-of-a-kind historic aircraft! Available once-in-a-lifetime.
The aircraft is located in Redondo Beach, CA and is currently being offered for $925,000. Click here to check out the complete listing.
