The Ford Trimotor was an aircraft maufatured by Ford Motor Company in 1926. This plane had also paved the way to modern aviat tion, such as leading the way to the first paved runway, Many models were built, but only 8 remain in airworthy condition today. I got to fly in one, and It is a feeling like no other. It feels like a rollercoaster that is incredible gentile.

Hope you enjoy
