It's not every day that you get to ride on a plane built in 1929. Or one that was built by Ford for that matter. But earlier this week in Paducah, plane enthusiasts received a treat as the Experimental Aircraft Association brought a vintage 1929 Ford Tri-motor to Barkley Regional Airport. Gary Pitts looked into the plane's extensive history, spoke with pilots who fly it, and even took a ride.
