The 40th anniversary National Stearman Fly-In Show was on Sept. 5-10, 2011, at Galesburg, Illinois, Municipal Airport. Here are two images of a Ford Trimotor at the show, taken by Malcolm Barker.
The Ford Trimotor (also called the "Tri-Motor", and nicknamed "The Tin Goose") was an American three-engined transport plane that was first produced in 1925 by the companies of Henry Ford and that continued to be produced until June 7, 1933. Throughout its time in production, a total of 199 Ford Trimotors were produced. Although it was designed for the civil aviation market, this aircraft was also used by military units, and it was sold all over the world.
