Picture of the Day: Chicago from a Ford TriMotor

By General Aviation News Staff · February 5, 2024 ·

Gary Baker submitted this photo and note: “As one of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Ford TriMotor pilots, I was fortunate to be able to ferry the Liberty Aviation Museum 5AT-B TriMotor from a tour stop in Smyrna, Tennessee, to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023. After a fuel stop at Gary, Indiana, we flew the Chicago FlyWay along the shoreline. We are flying past the Navy Pier.”
