Starting the end of January 2004 the Wings of Freedom Tour will launch its 15th year of barnstorming with a slightly different tour. For the first time as part of the barnstorming tour, the B-25 Mitchell "Tondelayo" will fly with the B-24 Liberator "Dragon and His Tail" to over 23 cities (to be announced) in Florida from the end of January through March. During this time we will inaugurate flight experiences on the B-25 as we now have an FAA authorized program to do so. For a tax-deductable donation, passengers will be able to experience the B-25 in flight! (Pricing will be announced soon) As always, the B-24 will be offering flights as well and also as always, all donations help support the barnstorming program as well as other aircraft in the Collings Foundation collection.
The B-17 "Nine O Nine" will be undergoing major maintenance and repaint during the Florida tour and will not be available until March when it will rejoin the B-24 before embarking on the nationwide tour.
Please stay tuned to www.collingsfoundation.org for more information as it becomes available.
Also we are taking requests for tour stop organizers for the National barnstorming tour. If you are interested in hosting a visit of the aircraft locally, please email me at rkeough@collingsfoundation.org to find out more!
