Interview with a Local – Norbert Brown

Have you ever been on a trip and met someone that made an impact on you? Maybe they were incredibly welcoming or made the new place you were visiting seem less scary. Sometimes a friendly face is all it takes to turn a bad trip into a good one. This is our goal with our Interview With a Local Series; to introduce you to new people—familiar faces—who we hope will not only make your visit to our small towns in Knox County better but also make you want to come back and see more…

Experience the early years of aviation on the first all-metal, multi-engine commercial airliner!

The Ford Tri-Motor led to the construction of the first airline terminal for passengers and was the first regularly scheduled passenger airliner to operate. Among its places in history, the Ford Tri-Motor led to the creation of the first paved runway and to the first hotel, designed and built for the air traveler.
