1929 Ford Tri-Motor


















We spent the first week of June in Illinois visiting Terry’s friend Wayne, Pat and their son Tim. (The men have known each other since grammar school.) It’s great to be able to be able to park in their yard and visit, yet have our own living space.

On Thursday, June 4, Tim decided that he wanted to go for a ride in the 1929 Ford Tri-Motor promotion sponsored by the EAA Aviation Foundation. This plane has seen active service barnstorming, crop dusting and as a borate bomber in aerial fire fighting. It was in the Jerry Lewis movie called “The Family Jewels” and will be in the upcoming Johnny Depp/Christian Bale movie called “Public Enemies.”

Tim’s comment on the ride was that it was “too short.”

Fun with friends - great. I'd like to get that "too short" ride as well.

Thanks for showing us your life.
