The vintage Ford Tri-Motor is visiting Tucson this weekend. I'm hoping tomorrow to get a better shot of it, as I plan on keeping the DSLR with the telephoto lens on hand. I snapped this shot this afternoon with the P&S Olympus, but its zoom function isn't that much.
It's flying up to Mesa for next weekend, with rides available Thursday through Sunday. I've registered for Thursday. It's worth taking a day of PTO for a chance to see her up close, and from the inside during a flight.
In her heyday, she was the premiere way to travel, though she was eventually outclassed and outperformed by the DC-3. Still, it's awesome to see a piece of aviation history, still capable of plying our skies.
