The EAA'a Ford Tri-motor Visit to Midland Michigan's Barstow Airport (3BS)

Under Construction

These pages will be in a constant state of change over the next few weeks (I Hope!) as I update and add material. Remember there are nearly 400 photos to start, not all of which will be posted after editing.

The Ford Tri-motor visit to Midland Michigan's Barstow Airport (3BS)
Page 5 Wednesday Part 1

Arrival and setup Monday Tuesday-1, Tuesday-2 Wednesday-1 Wednesday-2 .

Like the introduction page these following pages consist of 200 X 300 pixel versions being about 20 to 30K each. When time permits these will be linked to some 800 X 530 images (about 100K each) to give a much more detailed view. Once completed, clicking on the small displayed image will bring up the 800 X 600 images. The full size are just too large to put up and would take a good high speed connection to download. I'll upload the small images first, then try to caption each photo, but I may not be able to get them all where passengers are shown. I may have to enlarge the fonts, but there's not a lot of room to do so on smaller screens. Sorry, I don't have all photos captioned, but maybe some day.


A little body English for emphasis	And one more happy co-pilot	That tire look a little soft to you?

Cody Welch... Lands the Ford Tri-motor as if he's been flying it for years, which he has!	Yours truly in the right seat and ready to go!	A final wave before entrusting my life to Cody Photo Courtesy of Dot Hornsby

A look in back reveals an excited group ready to go flying and with " all cameras pointed Forward!"	And eagerly ready to "go flying" in a 80? Year old airplane.	As the Tri-motor can be airborne in a few hundred feet, we take the runway with lots left to spare

The view down the runway as the tail comes up	A light touch on the controls and the ride is like sitting in an easy chair.	Home sweet home, just 5 miles off the end of runway 06

And this is what the runway looks like when on final	And a bit closer to touch down. Yes, it looks much larger when landing.	Yup! I survived riding in an airplane even older than I am.
