The Ford Tri-Motor: Part 2 - A Centennial Flight - Flight Plan

MSFS2020/2024 Famous Flyer 6: Ford 4-AT Trimotor

This hand-flown commemorative flight recreates an authentic 1930s cross-country run. The Ford Tri-Motor had no GPS or autopilot - so no cheating!

First flight in payware Ford Trimotor (X-Plane 11)
