Historic WWII B-17 Bomber tour stop

B-17 tour stop, Essex County Airport, Fairfield, NJ. Hosted by EAA Chapter 73

EAA is offering historic flight experiences in its beautifully restored B-17G Flying Fortress “Aluminum Overcast.” One of only 14 Fortress's still flying, this aircraft is an icon of the Allied strategic bombing effort that helped turn the tide of battle in World War II. Unlike reading a history book, you can actually fly a mission back in time and feel the might of this magnificent machine, just as those brave young men did more than 60 years ago. The visit is part of EAA's 2010 "Salute to Veterans" tour* and celebrates the 75th Anniversary of this special aircraft.
