Great news for vintage aircraft afficionados and history buffs in general: A group called Pemberton and Sons Aviation right here in Washington state achieved a major milestone a couple of weeks ago when their beautifully restored 1928 Boeing Model 40C biplane flew for the first time ... in 80 years! It's not often that the population of rare old flyable airplanes actually increases, so it's worth celebrating whenever it does.

I've seen one or two references to some Model 40's for Flight Sim - if you've seen one you really like, let us know!
