To soar in the 1929 Ford Tri-Motor is to take a step back in time, when only the daring ventured into the sky. When men dressed in suits and women in silk stockings to travel. When a pilot maneuvered a plane by wits and skill not computers. When a passenger was protected from the elements by nothing more than a sheet of glass in a window. When aviation was more than novel: It was a luxurious adventure for the lucky few who could afford to fly.
Now you can experience the golden age of aviation — the deafening roar of engines, the rattle of the plane’s corrugated metal skin, the cool breeze blowing through the ventilation slits along the window panes — by booking a flight on the only Tri-Motor still flying.
