For the past 3 days the Wings of Freedom tour has been here in New Castle, DE. Their tour consists of B-24 Liberator "Witchcraft", B-17 Flying Fortress "Nine O Nine", and a P-51C Mustang "Betty Jane"

My great grandfather was a belly gunner on a B-24 in Europe. I got to see just a little taste of what life was like for him. Enjoy!

Thanks! Got to watch an old timer climb up into the P-51 and go for a flight. Man, that thing sounds awesome taking off!

Hmm, GD must have no interest in aviation today...

Flying on Witchcraft was a hoot!

We took off from the old KC airport and I didn't think we would get off the ground.  It smoothed out once in the air, but it is raw, at least compared to anything I have been on including USMC helos.  Nothing else compares.
