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.

Isn't there a B-17 Flying Fortress travelling with that group??

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.

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.
Was hoping to see a couple vintage planes and maybe get to look inside.
