Step back into the vibrant era of the Roaring '20s and experience the thrill of flight aboard the legendary EAA Ford Tri-Motor. As the pioneer of luxury air travel, the Ford Tri-Motor revolutionized global transportation, ushering in the golden age of commercial aviation. Think of it as the 1920's version of a Gulfstream.
Take advantage of this rare opportunity to experience a ride in this historic aircraft and see the beautiful scenery around Traverse City from the air!
You are also welcome to visit and view the aircraft for no charge.
Proceeds from the Ford Tri-Motor tour directly contribute to covering maintenance and operational expenses for the aircraft, and also support the activities of our local EAA Chapter 234.
