Commemorative Air Force Airbase Georgia Receives Bombers

Multiple WWII Warbird Exhibitions to Take Place in May

The CAF has repositioned a few of its bombers to their Georgia airbase, moving the B-17 Flying Fortress "Texas Raiders", with the B-29 Superfortress "Fifi" and B-24 Liberator "Diamond Lil'" to appear in the area next May. The state will see a number of warbird exhibitions throughout the month, beginning with the Flags for the Fallen display on Memorial Day weekend in Savannah. A smattering of additional displays will pass through Columbus, Savannah, and Douglas, making their way to the Georgia WWII Heritage Trail, the National Infantry Museum, the Museum of Aviation, the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth, and the World War II Flight Training Museum.

Passengers Wanted for Panchito's Flights On April 10th

Anyone who's ever wanted to hitch a ride in an authentic WWII bomber has a chance, thanks to the owners of a surviving B-25 Mitchell named "Panchito". The owners have made a number of slots available for the aircraft during its flights on April 10th out of Florida's Kissimmee Gateway Airport. Interested parties should be aware that space aboard is limited, and reservations are recommended. Vintage, flying WWII aircraft are always a draw, and Panchito is no exception.
