Continuing this week’s aerospace posts (previously, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and NASM’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center), here are some photos that my dad took of a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor Model 4-AT that visited the St. Simons Island Airport at McKinnon Field. My mom and dad took a ride on the plane to experience travel of yesteryear (my first thought when they told me about it was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom).
This Ford Tri-Motor is owned by the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Vintage Aircraft Association (EAA/VAA). The EAA is the same organization that convenes OSHKOSH, the BIG annual airshow and fly-in.
