Looking forward to flying

I'm really excited to circle Wed., March 25 on my calendar. That's the first of three days that the Wings of Freedom Tour will be in town at the Palestine Municipal Airport, featuring a B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator and a P-51 Mustang. I really enjoy World War II history since I had an uncle and a great uncle who served in the European Theatre, and my parents were teens then. I've read several of Stephen Ambrose's books on World War II (Band of Brothers, Citizen Soldiers, D Day, Wild Blue) as well as James Bradley's book, Flyboys, about the Pacific air war near Chi Chi Jima and Iwa Jima. I've also had the privilege to interview several World War II veterans. So I'm very excited about the chance to fly in one of the aircraft for a story and photos (videos, too, hopefully). Now I just need the weather to cooperate.
