Known for its pioneering role in air travel, our 1928 Ford Tri-Motor “City of Wichita” made history as one of two Ford Tri-Motors to operate the first ever air/rail transcontinental flight with Charles Lindbergh & Amelia Earhart pioneering that historic flight & Co-owning this aircraft with TAT in July of 1929! The Ford Tri-Motor was instrumental in establishing transcontinental routes across the United States, including those by the locally owned Island Airlines that operated until the early 1980s servicing the Lake Erie Islands year-round.
