The Ford Trimotor (nicknamed “The Tin Goose”) was an all-metal, American three-engined transport plane that was first produced in 1925 by the companies of Henry Ford . Newer designs and Ford’s losing interest in aviation caused production to end in 1933, with 199 airplanes built and flown world-wide by commercial and military aviation. I’m almost certain that Indiana Jones flew on one too.

This Trimotor hangs in the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.
