Visit Louisville, Kentucky by Various Transportation Modes

In Louisville, Kentucky, I found some of the city's best gems using a variety of transportation means. By using one form of transportation, I even fulfilled one childhood wish in Louisville, Kentucky. Via transportation options like a classic bi-plane, trolley rides, and cruising on a riverboat, Louisville, Kentucky has so much to offer sightseers!

The Skies Romantic Again

Commercial airline travel for most of us has become one transport method to endure. But you can, like I did, have a flying experience that will rekindle the romance of flying via Classic Biplane Tours in Louisville, Kentucky. I found myself flying over this Ohio River city at 1500 feet above ground in a replica open cockpit 1935 WACO YMF that was built in 1993 (with more technically advanced features for safety). The plane is also known as "Big Red". The top speed reached 90 M.P.H. and I could feel the wind in the back of my neck as I took in some really incredible views and pictures of the Louisville area, including Churchill Downs, Louisville's skyline, the Ohio River, and some Indiana farmlands in mostly clear and sunny skies, covering around 40 miles of flying in this transportation mode. Even the airport we took off from goes back to glorious aviation days past. That being Louisville's first major airport, Bowman Field, though it's now mainly used for smaller private planes.
