“The mission of those who operate and maintain these historic warbirds is to honor the men and women who designed, built, maintained and flew these national treasures to protect our freedom during World War II and beyond. Anytime we have a chance to team up and work together to bring history to life with up close and personal experiences at the same event broadens our mission.
