National Wings of Freedom Tour
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Three planes with a long history of service in the United States military made a stop yesterday here at Moffett Field as part of the National Wings of Freedom tour, a traveling aviation museum honoring World War II veterans and providing a living history experience to attendees.
Along with the restored vintage planes, including a P-51 Mustang, Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, and the Consolidated B-24 Liberator, which are some of the last of their kind, veterans were on hand to tell their tales from cockpits and behind the guns that filled the skies during WWII.
The National Wings of Freedom Tour will be at Moffett Feld in Mountain View through May 28, with tours of the planes open to the public.
