Possible WWII planes on display / rides

Post by Dr. NO »

Just had a B-25 Mitchel pass over the house and landing at Rutland. Last time I saw one they also had a fighter and B-29. Will check it out Sunday to see if anything else is around. The Yellow Gruman Navy trainer has been doing leaf peeper duty also.

I've seen those planes at Rutland airport a few years ago. Really awesome! Not sure if they're on display right now?

I recently had the opportunity to fly in a B-17. It was an awesome experience. The group I went with can be found here. http://www.collingsfoundation.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; A friend brought his WWII veteran dad who was shot down over Germany to fly again in a B-24. They also had a P-51 mustang available for flights.

Looked for information on this but found the last published visit was 2012 with a the B-17, B-24 and P-51. Drove by the AP Sunday but no B-25 on the tarmac. Must have been stopping while on a journey elsewhere. :cry: Was hoping to see a couple vintage planes and maybe get to look inside.
