peer01 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 The good old reliable Ford: Delivered some cargo to Catalina Airport and loaded some goods for the mainland (L.A.). A short hop, but I liked the views. Please click on the pics to enlarge: 43 years of aviation history between their first flights: Ford in 1926, the 747 in 1969. Thanks for looking, I hoped you liked the old Lady, GREETZ!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Great shots! I love the sound of the old Ford tri-motor! There was one at LOU for several years. Whenever it was started or flown, it always caused a stir! More than one highway fender bender was blamed on the distraction caused by the unusual sound it made. BTW: Their first landing at AVX can really freak out a lot of even multi-hour pilots! Because they had never landed on an "Island in the sky" which at 1,602' above the water AVX certainly appears to be.
