Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum is planning the busiest year in its history, honoring planes, people and places.
The Experimental Aircraft Association's B-17 Aluminum Overcast will visit Centennial Airport again this year. From June 4-9, this rare flying aircraft will be on display at Signature Flight Support. Dozens of Wings volunteers put thousands of hours into hosting the airplane, resulting in three consecutive EAA "Best in the Nation" designations from 2005-2007.
Flights and tours in this historic plane will be available to the public. In addition, Wings volunteers will host veterans' activities, educational flight simulators, book signings and other events. |
