Ford Tri-Motor Arrives

By Ty Greenlees | Monday, June 23, 2008, 02:43 PM

The Dayton Wright Brothers Airport took a step back in time today when a 1929 Ford Tri-Motor landed there at about 10 a.m.

The big beautiful bird looks like it’s made from barn siding, but the sound of the three radial make up for the not-so-aerodynamic appearance.

The airplane was piloted by Colin Soucy who last visited the Dayton area in a replica of the Spirit of St. Louis in 2002.

Chapter 48, Moraine Air Park, of the Experimental Aircraft Association is hosting the Tri-Motor for its nostalgia tour.

Rides are available to the public on June 27-29 at the Dayton Wright Brothers Airport.
