In the last issue we covered the Ford Tri-Motor airliner that landed in Greenwood as part of a midwest tour. The tour is sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA).
"This airplane allows people to experience true living history of aviation, as well as learn more about EAA and our mission to help people fully participate in the world of flight," said Rod Hightower, EAA president. "The Midwest Tour offers a rare glimpse of a unique flying machine that changed the way people travel in America."
For more information on the tour and the EAA visit www.flytheford.org or www.eaa.org. The Tri-Motor will be available for rides in Elkhart July 8-10, 2011, and in Rockford, Illinois (Chicago) August 25-28, 2011.
