So yesterday my dad surprised me with a ride in a super sweet 1929 Ford Tri-Motor. The first real production passenger aircraft. Isn’t it gorgeous?
I felt like I should have brought my fedora or bowler hat. My first thought was of the Waco seaplane Indiana Jones boards to escape the natives. I really love old planes. Actually I love ALL airplanes, but old school prop planes, military or otherwise, hold a special place in my heart. There is nothing like the sound of a prop, and nothing like the feel of the ground being left behind.
Man, I miss flying…
