Title: Wings Of Freedom Tour
Post by: Reschke on March 29, 2005, 09:56:01 AM

I just came home from vacation to find out that the Collings Foundation's B-17 Nine O Nine and the B-24 Witchcraft were here this past weekend. They are scheduled to be in Hot Springs, AR 3/28 - 3/30. One of them was still sitting at the Shelby County airport late yesterday evening.

The B-24 Witchcraft is down for repairs. It looks like it will not get out of here until late tomorrow and I am going back to get some pictures of it this afternoon. They were replacing oil and fuel line on the outboard left engine and the guy I spoke with from CAC (the company repairing the engine) said it would not leave before tomorrow afternoon.
