Ford Tri-Motor airplane 2008


It was a very clear morning and perfect for a flight in a Ford Tri-Motor airplane. This plane was built in 1929 and was the first Eastern Airline's fleet of aircraft. We (John Reid) took to the air at 10:00 am and had a very enjoyable smooth flight. See a few of the photos John and I took at:

The video I took is a wee bit shaky because I rested the camera on the window ledge and there it picked up the vibration of the 3 engines, but a shaky video is better than none at all. You can see the video at:

We had a wonderful time and I'm sure it was a once in a lifetime experience.
