Wings of Freedom Nationwide Tour Coming to Monmouth Airport

[High Exposure 5,680]

Come out and see a part of World War II history with some of the only fighter aircraft left in flying condition in the country!

 

The Wings of Freedom Nationwide Tour is coming to Monmouth County!

 

 

Brought to you by the Collings Foundation, this event showcases a living history display of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and a Consolidated B-24 Liberator, considered America’s backbone bomber aircraft of World War II.

 

Sixty years after their use over the skies of enemy territory, they embark on a new mission over the skies of America to honor our veterans of World War II, promote education of our future generations about the role of the aircraft and the flight crews of World War II, and to preserve these treasures of American aviation history where they belong in the sky.

 

The tour will be making a stop at Monmouth Executive Airport in Wall Township from August 20 to August 25 before heading to Cape May County Airport and the Naval Air Station Wildwood Museum.

 

This is a rare opportunity to visit, explore, photograph and learn more about these unique and rare treasures of aviation history. The B-17 is one of only eight in flying condition in the United States, while the B-24J and Full Dual Control P-51C Mustang are the sole remaining examples of their type flying in the world! Visitors are invited to explore the aircraft inside and out .

 

Prices are $12 for adults and $6 for children under 12 for access to up-close viewing and tours through the inside of the aircraft. WWII Veterans can tour through the aircraft at no cost.

I take my son to this every year, when it comes to Cape May County. It's always a lot of fun. One day I'd like to take a bomber ride with him.
