Ford Trimotor at Brookhaven Calabro Airport!

[sdspinelli2]

This weekend there is a 1929 Ford Trimotor N8419 from the Kalamazoo air Zoo operating at Brookhaven Calabro airport! I'll be photographing it tomorrow.

Any idea how long she will be there or when she is leaving?

[moose135]

From what I was told, they are giving rides through Sunday. Don't know if that means they are leaving on Sunday after giving rides for part of the day, or if they are flying all day Sunday and leaving Monday.

Thanks Moose! I may consider going out east for the day and making a detour to Brookhaven

[mirrodie]

Would love to see pics of that. Too late to make the trip though!

[Zee71]

I took a detour to Brookhaven while heading out east for the day. I got a few pics of her which I'll post later tonight when I get back. Flights were $75 for adults and $50 for children. I would have loved to go for a flight. What a beauty!

I wish I saw that you were coming earlier, I was working next door at Skydive South Shore.

Nice shots .... here are a few of mine from my very short stay. By the way, that tail reminds me of the new American Airline tail.

Stephen .... definitely would have liked to say helllo and put a face and name together. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot she was taxing back to the staging area on the ramp. I was able to get a few interior shots and of her departing. It was a real treat to see this bird. Next time, would like to take a ride on it.
