Out2gtcha Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Dr, Jones! Dr Jones! Twas worth every penny of the $75 we spent for 20 or 30 min with the old Tri-Motor. Really great fun, and a PERFECT visibility day. Not too hot either!!! Vids at the end. MORE...................

Out2gtcha Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Turn your sound up for this little one. Those three radials + x3 two bladed props make quite a noise......

Out2gtcha Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Very cool! Is that an original or one of the 1990s new builds by Kal Aero in Kalamazoo? They (at least used to) own the type certificate for it. This is one of the original 1925 Ford Tri-Motors, owned by the Liberty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton, Ohio, and leased by the EAA for these types of flights. LOADS OF FUN!!! mpk and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 It was UTTERLY amazing to see all the fly by wire WWI style controls. WAY closer to WWI aviation than WWII. mpk, Tnarg, plane_mc and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Beautiful. There must have been a hell of a lot of noise from those three engines - have your ears stopped ringing yet? Indeed there was. A GOOD loud though. The 2nd vid is a tiny taste, but way cooler sounding in person mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Jack, Alan, thanks for stopping in! One of my favorite surprises were the external gauges mounted on each engine, with full accompanying "Spirit of St Louis" style steel milling effects Tnarg, Jack and mpk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
