The B-17 Flying Fortress and the
B-24 Liberator visited Pease International Airport for three days as part
of the Wings of Freedom Tour. The B-17
was built in 1945 and served in the Air/Sea 1st Rescue Squadron as a military
transport plane. The B-24 Liberator has the authentic
nose art and was called the "Dragon and His Tail." It is the world's only
fully restored plane of its kind. Although the planes were getting
ready to leave by the time I got there, I did get a chance to get a few
pics before they left.
