One of the Great Airplanes from 'The Greatest Generation'


A rare B-17 bomber, owned and operated by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is making a stop locally as part of its nationwide tour that salutes WWII veterans and helps the rest of us discover its history. The aircraft will be at Manassas Regional Airport, September 26-28 2014, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. All are invited to see and fly in this historic aircraft.
