1952 Case SI Airborne
Built 11-September-1952
This one is towing a 1/2-Ton Airborne Dump Trailer
Owned by Tim, Cathy, and Kyle Evans of Lexington, Kentucky
Derived from the Case SC Row-crop farm tractor.
The Case SI Airborne Tractor was purpose-designed to be light enough and narrow enough to be transported along with other engineering equipment aboard the Douglas C-47 Skytrain aircraft.

Thanks for looking; I hope you enjoy them.

On a poverty-level Kentucky budget, a 24-exposure roll of film would have two Christmases and a summer vacation on it and we might have to wait another six months before being able to afford developing the film.
I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

But seeing a 3020 John Deere tractor in the background, it hurts! We had a 3010 in my high school days and I thought I was in heaven driving it. Power steering, power brakes, 8 speeds forward, 3 reverse, and direct start diesel! I suppose I am getting to be an antique as well?? Don't like that idea!
