Visit the Tri-Motor Heritage
Foundation’s restoration
project of a Ford Tri-Motor
airplane!
This foundation is committed to
helping preserve the history of
Island Airlines and the
important role played by the
airline's Ford Tri-Motor
airplane.
For nearly 50 years, starting in
1936, this airplane was a
common sight in the skies above
Lake Erie, taking both passengers
and freight in and out of the
isolated islands in the lake.
Ford's Tri-Motor airplane was built
from 1926 through 1933 and served
for 50 years as an ambulance, mail
plane, freight hauler, and more for
Island Airlines and the residents on
Lake Erie islands.
Because this plane was
rugged, it was chosen by
Richard Byrd for his historic
flight over the South Pole in
November 1929.
Training to restore the Ford
Tri-Motor airplane started in
2004 with just a few pieces
of the plane.
Most of the work to restore it
has been done by volunteers at
the Liberty Aviation Museum
under the supervision of a full-
time airframe mechanic.
The project is 100%
dependent on donations,
volunteers, merchandise
sales, and special events.
You can participate in the
ongoing restoration of this
iconic airplane by donating
funds or working as a
volunteer.
