Among the historic flying machines are a Boeing B-29 Superfortress (“FIFI”) and several World War II aircraft, including a P-51 Mustang, a C-45 Expeditor, a T-6 Texan and a PT-13 Stearman.
Hours of operation for the show are 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. daily; admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids between the ages of 11 and 17. Children under 10 are free.
The CAF tour imparts history to viewers nationwide with its varied collection of military crafts, stories, and sights and sounds of World War II-era aviation. Attendees can view the planes up close, observe them in flight, and for an extra fee, even ride in them.
