A B-17 Flying Fortress owned by the Collings Foundation will be among World War II aircraft at the Lakefront Airport in New Orleans, Louisiana March 26-29.
A B-25 Mitchell and the only B-24 Liberator will be displayed at Taylor's hanger at the Lakefront airport also!!

Lucky you if you get a ride in either of these magnificent aircraft
There is a beautiful lancaster bomber on display in Windsor Ontario Canada (I live about 20 minutes away )
They are trying to find the funding to move it indoors. A local group also is rebuilding an original mosquito back to flying condition.
A friend of mine is working with them and I have seen it, they plan on taking it to many air shows when completed, can't wait to see it in the air . :D

Now you`re giving me another excuse to jump across the border & visit Ontario. I`ve seen Flying Forts & Mitchells at the Kalamazoo Air Show before, but I haven`t seen any British aircraft up close that I can recall. My dad was a private pilot, so I have an interest in planes as well as cars.

Thanks for the info, and the pic of the Lancaster. I`ll have a couple weeks vacation later this summer, so I just might have a look. I`d like to get up around Park Hill & see where my grandad grew up, as well.
