For the 14th year, the Collings Foundation Wings of Freedom Tour landed at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. The flying exhibition has been touring all over the country for 29 seasons.
Comprised mostly of volunteers, the Collings Foundation Wings of Freedom Tour travels to 40 states and 120 cities for ten months out of the year. The tour usually stays about two days per stop, but they stay at the Frontiers of Flight Museum for at least five days. The tour was originally scheduled from March 28 to April 1, but due to bad weather, it had to be delayed until March 29. The tour educates people about aircrafts used during World War II.
The tour features planes used during World War II and offers visitors a flight experience on some of the aircrafts. Prices for the flight experiences range from $400 to $3,200 depending on the plane and length of the ride.
In addition to the flight experiences, the tour also offers visitors the opportunity to see certain planes in action and even schedule a walking tour inside of the plane. One of the aircrafts that did a flight demonstration for an audience was the TF-51D Mustang.
One of the members of the audience was Bill Stallings who visits the Wings of Freedom Tour every year.
Next year while celebrating its 30th anniversary, the tour will feature a couple of different planes like a P-40 and a B-25, which was originally scheduled to be on tour this year, but was unfortunately at another stop due to maintenance issues.
