BRUCE JACOBSEN PHOTO The Journal
Pictured left to right are Lee Ann, Jennifer, Neal, Lara, Cate, and Bruce Jacobsen. Neal’s family came in from Wilmette for a family flight that they reported was smoother than any airline flight they have ever taken. Neal is a licensed pilot and had the opportunity to co-pilot and fly the Tri-Motor. Bruce treated his younger brother and family. It was payback for extra cash borrowed by Bruce, long ago, to take his very first airplane ride that that was on a Ford Tri-Motor at an EAA Convention back when they were still held at Rockford Airport.

An EAA “Fly on the Ford” Tri-Motor event was held June 9-12 at the Chicago Rockford International Airport.

As noted by the EAA this plane was, “Known as the first luxury airliner, the Ford Tri-Motor redefined world travel and marked the beginning of commercial flight.”

Current tour stops are being  hosted by volunteers who are passionate about haring the Ford Tri-Motor’s stories. The weather was good as was attendance!
