A vintage Ford Tri-Motror plane makes a stop at Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport.
The group applauded as pilot John Maxfield gently landed the 1929 Ford Tri-Motor on the airstrip at Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport in Gainesville. “Can we go again?” someone asked as the plane, also known as “Tin Goose,” came to a rest. The Monday afternoon ride was more than just a 10-minute trip offering a panoramic view of the Hall County area.
