- Traveling by plane is a luxury many of us take for granted, but imagine the days before American Airlines or Delta.
It wasn't until the 1930's that commercial flights took off. Before then, if you wanted to travel by air you had to board a mail carrier plane. Thursday, the Ford Tri-Motor plane that helped launch the industry came to Kearney.

It wasn't until Henry Ford realized the potential for mass air transportation that the commercial airline industry took flight.
"Henry said treat people like people and do first class transportation so he built the airplane and started the airline industry," Siegfriend said.
Ford's Tri-Motor aircraft was first built in 1926. There are only 5 of these planes left that can still fly and only one still offers public flights. And that 1929 aircraft landed in Kearney than...
