I got to ride in one whose owner sold rides at an air show 40 some years ago. Very noisy!

Each engine is an 18-cylinder contraption … that’s something …

Cool story. I’d love to fly in a Tri-motor. What a great experience for this brave old gent!

Now, can anyone tell me why all these interesting, inspiring stories only appear in foreign news papers?

Anyone?

“Gerald R. Ford International Airport”

Seems like a lot of things are named after Gerald R. Ford.

Other than pardoning Nixon, what did Gerald R. Ford ever do?

I flew on one back in the 70’s from Port Clinton Ohio to Put in Bay (Put out Bay) Ohio.

Trimotor PING

[Glennb51]

I was on my honeymoon and we went through the Grand Canyon. At the airport, you could take a scenic ride in a helo or a tri-motor. Being a pilot, I chose the tri-motor.

Out on the tarmac I began talking to the pilot. Eventually he asked if I was a pilot, to which I affirmed. He asked if I wanted to fly right seat.

What a phenomenal experience! When I got home, I put it in my log book.
