- Sit back and enjoy the sights at this classic fly-in from 10-11 September 2022. The Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum (WAAAM) hosts this annual event as a fundraiser that is also a prime social event for pilots and enthusiasts form all over the Pacific Northwest. In addition to flying appearances by several of the museum's vast collection, other fly-in attendees and local airport residents' airplanes are seen overhead.
This year, heavy smoke from regional wildfires obscured any view of Mount Hood and cast the event in filtered light. About 200 aircraft made the flight to Hood River for the fly-in. Stars of the weekend included WAAAM's newly acquired Ford Trimotor, which flew on Saturday with the museum's Boeing Model 40 mail plane, the oldest flying Boeing aircraft.

Thank you for sharing these glorious vintage aircraft with us!
In 1961, when I was 12 years old, my father took me to an airshow in Ontario, California. At the show, there was a beautiful 1929 Ford Trimotor. My father told me that The Trimotor was one of the first Airmail planes that he ever saw coming into Coachella, CA when he was 10 in 1926 and that he had always loved seeing and hearing those marvelous engines. Thinking about it now, more than 60 years later, I am still amazed at the beauty of that old beast. In 1961 the plane that I saw was only 32 years old. Imagine! 61 years later after that and they're still flying.... some of them closing in on being 90 years old.
Yes -- the timeline is sometimes hard to believe. The oldest 747s are more than a half-century old. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It's not a try motor, it's a tri engine. Motors are electric, engines are combustible. Just thought I would point that out. Please don't take offense. Today is September 29th 2022
@@americanspirit8932 Wrong. First it’s TRI, not TRY as in your first mistake. Next, in regular English the words engine and motor have been used interchangeably and can apply to any device that converts one or more types of energy into mechanical energy. YOU are referring to some specific ENGINEERING vocabulary that separates engines into devices that burn fuels and motors into devices that use electricity, air or hydraulic pressure. Rocket MOTORS also burn solid fuel, while Rocket ENGINES burn liquid fuel. So basically, there is a wide variety of uses, and since the FORD TRI-MOTOR used and was ACCEPTED as the popular usage at the time, it applies simply by usage.

@@DoctorShocktor yeah, cars were referred to as motor cars not engine cars (which were cranked by hand in the past). Petrol engines were still "motor cars". It's just regular word usage. Ofc trains were called steam engines bc they used steam but trains can be electric or speed trains today! You're right, they're just terminologies ppl used at the time (some for obvious reasons) A train, plane or automobile had some working engine or motor. Google says the petrol cars had an engine (and "motor" is used interchageably)
Have a nice day/evening :)
The Boeing 40C was restored by Addison Pemberton at Felts Field in Spokane. Subsequently sold to Hood River. Before he sold it, I was passenger 120 in the on-board logbook. We flew out of Felts field to a grass field where a friend of his lived. Landing on a grass field would have been what that plane normally landed on. Great experience. Thanks Addison!
Thanks for watching and adding your experience with the classic Model 40. Glad you found the Airailimages Channel.
The Ford Trimotor has long been one of the most fascinating aircraft for me. It just looks so different from the airliners we're used to seeing, prop or jet. A flying box is essentially what it is.
It's a tri engine not a tri motor Motors are electric engines or combustible. I don't believe we have electric airplanes back then

Recently retired A&P I picked up this basket case '46 GC-1B Swift with the idea of restoring it. I have the skills, the tools and the money yet I have struggled to find the confidence to pull it off. Watching videos like this sure goes a long way. Thanks and wish me luck.
Glad you enjoyed the video. And best of luck to you with your restoration project. A Swift is a pretty neat piece of equipment!
When I was a kid our dad would take us pheasant hunting at a farm next to the airport in Sandusky, Ohio.
The Ford Tri Motors with Island Airways were coming and going to and from Middle Bass Island and
Put-in-Bay. I loved those airplanes.
Good memories ti have. Thanks for watching, and commenting.
I'm glad I eventually watched this after having seen it in my youtube feed for several days. This was excellent videography; thanks for posting it.
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
At one time there were several Ford tri motors flying to the islands in lake Erie. One time when I was about 12 I got to sit in the co-pilot seat and take the wheel for about 5 minutes. Quite a thrill for a young man I will never forget it.
Yes -- that's a memory for a lifetime. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Viewing many of these aircraft from the “Golden Age” of aviation was indeed a feast for the eyes and a treat to the soul. Thank you Fred Johnsten for this wonderful review. Blue skies and Tailwinds brother.
You are very welcome! This stuff is fun.
Low and slow just what i love
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you will browse the Airailimages Channel for more videos of interest.
Lots of unique aircraft there.
Yes! Thanks for watching.
Some great aircraft, great setting too! That Puss Moth was a nice surprise.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Nicely done...excellent videography and editing...superior sound too.
Thank you RickTD... more to come. Have you checked out our 2023 Reno Air Race coverage? th-cam.com/video/O78vevBNWaA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again for the great video! Love the old planes! Great shots all around. Nice to see them still flying! As always God bless you and yours always Mr Johnsen and thanks again for everything you do! God bless the USA!! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fun to cover this event. Good folks having a relaxed get-together.
That plane is like an old flying Model A Ford !!!!
Fantastic! Thanks for posting that was really enjoyable.
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
What a terrific collection of aircraft. I don't know much about 1930s planes but this was very enjoyable, I had never heard of a Harlow and had to look it up. You can teach this old dog new tricks ! The rotating airport beacon was interesting. Too bad about the forest fires and the haze. Thanks as always for the post.
You are welcome! Yes, the Harlow looks pretty neat with its flaps down, kinda like a Dauntless.
@@airailimages Yes it does now remind me of a Dauntless!
Excellent images of fantastic and unusual machines. Thank you for the hard work of documenting and sharing!!
And thank you for your gracious comment.
Tricycle beech 18 was something I'd never seen before.
Yes -- that's the fun at a fly-in like Hood River; you can see unusual things! Thanks for watching.
I lived close to Hood River ,in The Dalles.That is Gods country.
I am hoping to fly down next year. Just a little too Smokey to make the trip this year.
It was a surprise to be unable to see Mount Hood. Here's hoping for clear skies next year.
Congratulations on your great photo shots. You are lucky enough to see these wonderful machines live in the air and on land.
Many thanks!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice collection of old flying machines, some better looking than others, but all of them worth another look every time I see them!
That was an amazing collection of aircraft in one place. It was very interesting that on some the passengers were inside while the pilot was left to the elements. Thanks for the video.
You are always welcome. Yes, in the 1920s, some pilots voiced a preference for the great outdoors, but by the 1930s, the benefits of an enclosed cockpit were more widely accepted.
I never knew a “trike gear” Beach 18 existed, neat!
That's part of the fun about the Hood River fly-in. You never know what unusual aircraft will arrive. Thanks for watching and commenting.
My home town and I love to see videos of flight from an airport I spent many hours at growing up at in the fifties!
Thank you for watching and for commenting. The Hood River airp[ort is a really neat set-up for the museum and the fly-in.
Love it! I grew up around the Ford Tri-motor, N414H in the early years of EAA when the Louck's owned it!
What a superb video. So many rare aircraft you do not see here in the UK. Many thanks.
You are very welcome! Always good to hear from viewers in the UK.
enjoyed it 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
There are several Navions from the late 1940s in this video. My 1969 Navion Rangemaster (1061Y) is featured at the very end of the video. Nice sunset shots as I take off into the sunset. The haze is from forest fires in the area which cut visibility to 4 miles on the way back to Auburn.
Nice Navion! Thanks for watching and for commenting.
@@airailimages Do you have footage of the take-off as well?
Just checked the raw files -- nope, what you have seen is what we have.
@@airailimages thanks for looking
Always loved that Harlow , since I saw it neglected and derelict at the Salinas airport in the 1970s.
First plane looks like a Ford Tri engine plane, built to carry passengers.
I was last week at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Toronto, I don't know if you know it, it's a very interesting tour.
Kind regards from Montevideo, Uruguay
Estuve la semana pasada en el Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum en Toronto, no sé si lo conoce, es un paseo muy interesante.
Saludos cordiales desde Montevideo, Uruguay
Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope to have an opportunity to visit some of the Canadian museums in the future.
Gracias por mirar y comentar. Espero tener la oportunidad de visitar algunos de los museos canadienses en el futuro.
"Calling Barranca!"
What a great, and obscure, reference for these vintage mail planes! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very nice, T/Y.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nicely Done. I opted not to video and place on my channel this year due to the smoke/haze and not having the right gear with me. Appreciate being able to see your video. Keep up the good work, WAAAM is an amazing place and they do a fantastic job and you captured it well. Just subscribed I'll have to check out your other videos. Thanks again
Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing. And thanks for keeping that classic Tri-Pacer going.
@@airailimages I"m just fortunate to be the caretaker of the TriPacer at this time. It's a great little plane that's a joy to fly.
Excellent video. Thanks for posting. It's so hazy maybe there was a forest fire near the airport?
Thanks for watching. The fires were fairly distant, but depending on winds the West can be under smoke many miles from a fire source.
Sure, modern jets are fine, safe means of transportation. But aircraft such as these...über cool living history.
I like to take off from here to fly around Mount hood in Microsoft flight simulator
you only identify some of the planes?
What’s the twin at 7:00? I thought it was a beech 18 but it has a nosewheel
Yes, some Beech 18s were converted to tri-gear, and a few late models were made that way at the factory. Thanks for watching!
@@airailimages trigear beech 18? An abomination!
