Just flew over my house!

This just flew over my house a 1928! Ford Tri-motor. It has a unique sound and its really slow was just surprised an almost 100 year old plane is still flying.

I get what you are saying re the sound. One of those was in Evansville a year or two ago and it was very cool to see and hear.

You might know that when I have the camera in hand you can hear it, but can't see it.

I got to ride in the co-pilot seat in one back in the nineties when it visited the Mt. Comfort Airfield for public rides. I paid an extra $5 and waited my turn to get that seat. The window was open and I could feel the prop wash as the blades went by. Flew over and around Geist Reservroir and back. Was quite the thrill!

I'm on the east side of Anderson, and yes the sound is nice!

That sounds awesome, I was wanting to ride in the B25j that was at the Anderson Airport on 7/3, but I didn't have an extra $800!

A few year ago I took a ride in the Tri-motor.

Wow! I think it only cost me $35 at the time.

Sometimes a Huey copter comes to the White River Yacht club and gives rides with the side door open.
One year there was a M.A.S.H. type copter giving rides for $100 a couple years ago.

Very cool.

A Biplane was crop-dusting across the street the other day. Not as old as the Tri Motor, but still cool not something we see very often.

Seems like there are still a few flying

I remember seeing one at Bob Shank's airport @ what is now 38th & Georgetown, Indy. Georgetown Rd used to be the airport's driveway, back behind the Lafayette Rd Drive-In.

It's the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Ford Tri motor tour. More information here. They were in Columbus in 2021 and we took our grandson and his mom for his first ever airplane flight.
