Ford Tri-Motor Flight

Took a flight today on one of the EAA's 1929 Ford Tri-Motor aircraft.  What a blast it was!  I took quite a few pics and some video clips which you can see below.  We flew out of Gwinnett County Airport/Briscoe Field northeast of Atlanta.  Beautiful day to fly as it was clear and about 80 degrees.  Engine start, taxi, takeoff, flight time, landing, and taxi was around 30 minutes total.  Just enough time to experience this incredible machine.  You can see more info about the Tri-Motor at the EAA website.

The FCC considers them an airline so they have to issue tickets

Met some fellow ham operators from the Gwinnett County club who were operating a special event station to commemorate the Tri-Motor.
