The Liberty Foundation's B-17 Memphis Belle was on hand to give flights and ground tours. Friends, one of these rare airplanes should not be missed! Until you have stepped inside a Flying Fortress, you cannot truly appreciate what our American flight crews felt and experienced. From the first light brush against the hand-riveted skin, a peep into the surprisingly confined spaces, to the ultimate realization of what the beautiful aircraft really is - you will walk away under a different, meaningful impression. And you will want to do it again!
Many thanks to organizations like the Liberty Foundation that keep these old warbirds flying. There is nothing like experiencing the real thing! For more information on the Memphis Belle's schedule, and more about the Foundation and its mission, please visit their website. Consider purchasing a flight for yourself or a loved one. The price is reasonable and helps to offset the immense cost of maintaining these lovely ladies of history. Their goal to educate and keep the memory of WWII aviators alive is a noble one.
