Description
One of a Kind! The Bushmaster 2000 was a small commuter airliner built in the United States in an attempt to revive the Ford Trimotor design. Work began in 1953 by testing a vintage Trimotor and in 1954 Bill Stout purchased the design rights to the original Trimotor. Due to "Ford Tri-Motor" licensing problems, the Ford 15-AT-D was given the Bushmaster 2000 name. The aircraft was designed by Bill Stout (actually designed after the Ford 5-AT serial number 112) On January 15, 1955, Stout and Robert Hayden announced they were planning to build 1000 new Bushmasters. However, with financial, management, and marketing problems, only two were built. S/n 1 of these new planes first flew from Long Beach, CA for the first time in August of 1966.
