Al Chaney's 4-AT Trimotor N7584, photographed at one of the Santa Monica auctions. These took place in the early 1990s and I always tried to go. They drew some interesting planes. Kermit weeks bought this plane at the auction or shortly after. About a year later, Hurricane Andrew dropped his hangar roof on it. The FAA lists it as damaged beyond repair, but shots of the wreckage show some intact parts. In a recent YT vid of a tour of Greg Herrick's collection, Kermit mentioned that the plane is under rebuild in Kalamazoo. I'll always have pleasant associations of this airplane with the 1/77 Monogram kit that I built as a kid, and hope to see it again one day.

It's not clear whether they intend to continue flying it. I hope so. Wouldn't it be nice if it dropped by Rhinebeck one Sunday? The group credits the folks at Rhinebeck, who have a static S-4B, with helping with the restoration.
