Tall Ships and Old Planes

While I was looking for information about the tall ship festival, I saw a notice that the Experimental Aviation Association was offering rides over the lakefront in a restored 1929 Ford Tri-motor, the first plane designed as a commercial airliner. How often were we going to have a chance to ride in an 80 year-old plane, and besides, what better way to see the tall ships than from the air?
