The Wings of Freedom Tour 2008 of a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, a North American B-25 Mitchell and a Consolidated B-24 Liberator will be at Camarillo, California airport CMA from 12 through 14 May, 2008. They will be joined by a North American P-51 Mustang. All are available for paid walk-through tours or 30 minute flights. The bomber flights are tax deductible donations. The P-51 is dual control for $2,200 for a half hour or $3,200 for a full hour, non-deductible. Enter the ramp through the Waypoint Cafe, 325 Durley.

Flight reservations, questions or information: 800-568-8924 or www.cfdn.org

Photo ops are available. I attended last year and the aircraft were well worth it. The event may attract some interesting and contrasting fly-ins-last year a deHavilland Tiger Moth from SZP.



They are currently down here. Collings Foundation winters in New Smyrna Beach every winter where they do some maintenance on the bombers at Baker Aviation. They usually fly around to different Florida airports on tour giving rides during the winter.

Woot!

No problem about the pic.
I will send on what I get this year... and all post some on this site for all to see.
TNutty, I can send you copies too... it really wasn't a problem for me. As long as people enjoy seeing the aircraft!
I always enjoy seeing the B-17s!
Can't wait!
Best Regards,

well, there will only be 1 b-17, but this year it will ONLY be the b-17, b-24, and p-51, the 25 is doing some other stuff, and the ME-262 has not had all the bugs (mechanical AND legal) worked out of it yet

TNutty: Still would love to see them all.
Is there going to be a press day for these events?
I will be happy to pay the "fee" to see the aircraft, but I would love to get some shots without all the people in the picture.

Oh I love the shots with the kids and the B-17, but is there a "slow" day where I can get some shots without 50+ people around it?
Last year there was lots of people at the event.

I will miss the B-25!


Thanks again for the update!!!

CF is again returning to KVPZ on July 27-29. Also, this stop occurs during Oshkosh so you never know what'll show up. Last year we had a group of T-6's come in and the year before we had a group of RV-4's.

Our local EAA chapter will have food & beverages available as well. A wonderful opportunity to support 2 great organizations.
