1929 Ford Trimotor plane

This plane tours the country giving rides. It is a 1929 Ford Trimotor. Only 199 were made. I have to say it looked a bit like a Morton Building with wings, but the thing got off the ground in about 3 lengths of the plane.

Very nice shots. I love the processing in the first two.

You have some nice shots. My brother and I went up in this plane in St.Augustine, Fl. The flight was $25 and lasted about 15 minutes. It was LOUD, but fun.

Well done shots. Like your PP work. Watched a program about them the
other day. All are nice but I like #3 best. Thats off the ground fast
as you mention. Think Tom mentioned wearing earplugs for types like these.
Always carry a set in my truck just in case.

Thanks for the compliments. They were charging $60 for a 20 minute ride. The group is www.flytheford.com and they were at our local airport raising money for the local aviation museum. The site gives a nice history of this particular plane. She was quite loud, but graceful. I believe they said the top speed was about 125mph.

The Model T was owned by the Vice president of the museum, so I stopped back by this afternoon with a CD of pics for the museum and the group with the plane. I thought they maybe could use them for their websites. And if they liked them enough, maybe they will contact me for other work.

Shane,

All are nice, but the last one is a fine image
