Restored WWII Planes to be on Display at Lincoln Airport
Lincoln residents should look to the sky when they hear the distinctive low rumble of engines this week.
Two of World War II’s most famous American bombers will be flying into town Monday, courtesy of Commemorative Air Force, the world’s largest traveling flying museum.
In addition to the World Was II bomber planes, three additional classic planes will be on display beginning Wednesday at the Lincoln Airport.
The event is part of the Commemorative Air Force's AirPower History tour, which brings planes from the organization's fleet of more than 170 World War II airplanes to cities across the country for public tours each year.
Visitors will be able to view and book rides on a Boeing B-29 Superfortress, a Consolidated B-24 Liberator, as well as a P-51 Mustang, a T-6 Texan and a PT-13 Stearman.
The event is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Aug. 4 at the Silverhawk Aviation ramp on the east side of the airport, 1751 W. Kearney Ave.
