Ride along for a flight in a 1929 Ford Tri Motor. The flight departed and arrived the historic Bowman Field Airport in Louisville, KY. This flight was conducted as a part of the "Fly the Ford" tour, sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). Learn more at: http://www.eaa.org or http://www.flytheford.org
It is always amazing to me that the technology of the old aircraft still works, after all these years. I am looking forward to taking a ride in this plane when it comes to Kansas City (Lee's Summit Airport) on Sept. 10.

this totally rocks. How does one manage to finagle a ride in the right seat? Someday I will fly in one of these, and a b-29, and a Connie

The engines sound like heavy metal at idle!

@apparition2 It was a remarkably short takeoff roll, but that is characteristic of the Tri-Motor. The airplane actually has no flaps; just a huge wing. It does handle quite heavy and sluggishly. The flight control responses are described as somewhat unpredictable and even a bit unstable.
