And Some World War II Bombers Are Coming to Me

Yesterday, I saw that The Wings of Freedom Tour is coming to four airports in the Chicagoland area. The one nearest to me is the Chicago Executive Airport (formerly the Palwaukee Airport.

They'll have a B-24 Liberator, a B-17 Flying Fortress and a P-51 Mustang fighter. It costs $12 to do a walk through of the three planes and you can even go up in them, but the cost is a bit prohibitive for me: $2200 for a half hour in the Mustang (but you can actually take the controls) and $425 on either bomber.

Thinking about going to see them Saturday.

That would be a direct connection with World War II.

Sure Would Like to Go Up. Oh, Well. --Cooter
