All day long, every fifteen minutes, the Experimental Aircraft Association's popular 1929 Ford Tri-Motor -- the world's first mass-produced airliner -- took off with a load of paying passengers for a circuit of the airfield during the big fly-in/air show at Oshkosh. This is how your great-grandparents flew during the late 1920s and early 1930s, when airline travel was still high adventure.
