From January 20-23, the taxiway at Vero Beach Regional Airport served as a backdrop reminiscent of the Roaring '20s for aviation enthusiasts as they gathered to fly aboard a Ford Tri-Motor.
Known as the first luxury airliner, the Ford Tri-Motor redefined world travel and marked the beginning of commercial flight. The event, hosted by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), is part of a national tour that helps families learn more about the aircraft and the EAA.
Revenues from the Ford Tri-Motor tour help cover maintenance and operations costs to keep the aircraft, affectionately known as the “Tin Goose,” flying for many years to come. For more information about the Ford Tri-Motor tour and where they're headed to next, click here.
