Wings of Freedom Tour

September

Hey Flyboys!

The “Wings of Freedom’’ tour, an educational display of vintage WWII aircraft, lands at the Westchester County Airport tomorrow and will be here through Monday.

Sponsored by the Collings Foundation, a non-profit “living history” organization, the display gives the public a chance to check out a B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell and P-51 Mustang inside and out. They’re asking for a $12 donation for adults and $6 for kids under 12.

The planes are scheduled to land at 2 p.m. tomorrow and will be on display until 5 p.m. at Million Air, 136 Tower Road, Hangar M. Hours for the rest of the week are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. They leave on Monday at noon.

I’ll be there when they land tomorrow to do a story for lohud.com and The Journal News. Drop by if you have the time – especially if you’re a WWII vet. I’ll interview you and make you famous.

Check out the Collings Foundation’s website here to see some photos of the planes and find out more about the exhibit.

Military equipment is a fitting tribute to everyone who served and everyone who serves today and tomorrow. But the wisdom and judgment of some politicians is worse than bad it is way beyond the fringe of what is acceptable. Surfside Florida town officials should resign and walk away from a series of terrible flaws in honor and respect and proper conduct.

On every level.
When it hits home, local community level, disrespect for service and honor is a very bad thing that we should get involved to put a stop to.

See what is going on with the town government in Surfside Florida with officials who want to eliminate Surfside Veterans Park and the Surfside Cannon and the tribute to veterans.
