Northampton Airport is a public airport located one mile northeast of central business district of Northampton, a city in Hampshire County, Massachusetts. The airport covers 55 acres and has one runway that is 3,365 feet in length and 50 feet in width. Many historic aviators, including Charles Lindbergh, flew here. Lindbergh would come to visit his then girlfriend, Anne Morrow, at Smith College. Amelia Earhart studied airframe maintenance in downtown Northampton, and although not officially documented, probably did some flight training at the Northampton Airport. In addition, the airport was also visited by Ruth Nickols and the Granville brothers (who were responsible for building the Gee Bee airplane). The airport has been in continuous operation since its inception in 1929. For several years prior to that, it had been used for barnstorming.—Wikipedia—This image was processed as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) composition.
Farmall was a model name and later a brand name for tractors manufactured by the American company International Harvester. The Farmall name was usually presented as McCormick-Deering Farmall and later McCormick Farmall. Farmalls were general-purpose tractors. Their origins were as row-crop tractors, a category that they helped establish and in which they long held a large market share. During the decades of Farmall production (1920s to 1970s), most Farmalls were built for row-crop work, but many orchard, fairway, and other variants were also built. Most Farmalls were all-purpose tractors that were affordable for small to medium-sized family farms. Farmall was a prominent brand in the 20th-century trend toward the mechanization of agriculture in the US.—Wikipedia This image was processed as an HDR (High Dynamic Range) composition.
