Wings Of Freedom Heads To Leesburg, FL

Historic WWII Aircraft On Display At Leesburg International Airport Feb. 27 Through March 1

The next stop for the Collings Foundation's "Wings of Freedom" tour is Leesburg International Airport in Leesburg, FL.

The foundation's iconic WWII aircraft, which includes a B-17, a B-24, and a P-51C, will be on display from February 27th at 1400 local time until March 1 at 1630.

Visitors can walk around the aircraft at no charge. A walk-through tour will cost $12, and flights are also available on all three aircraft, ranging from $450 for 30 minutes aboard the B-17 or B-24 to $3,200 for a full hour in the P-51.

The airplanes have been touring around Florida since January 16. The Leesburg visit is the official kickoff of the National Tour which will allow the airplanes to be seen across the country.

The mission and purpose of the Collings Foundation is to organize and support living history events nationwide encouraging learning through direct participation in support and honor of our veterans and their families.
