Wings Of Freedom Tour at Livermore Airport 5/27-5/29

What a fitting time for the Wings of Freedom Tour to arrive at the Livermore Airport!  Yes, Memorial Day is a perfect time to see legendary aircraft from World War 2.

I was lucky enough to be there yesterday and see them landing. There is something very majestic about these planes that captures the imagination and brings to reality the struggles of a by-gone era in history that many forget or never even knew about.

Believe it or not you can even go up in one! Call 800-568-8924 for flight reservations of tours. You can also go to www.collingsfoundation.org for more information.

Whatever you do, don't miss the chance to go out and see them up close. Walk-thru tours are only $12 for adults and $6 for children. Don't miss this amazing piece of history in your own backyard!

Even though I found the planes amazing, the best part were the veterans that were present. They were, in order that I photographed them:

Walter Hughes

Ken Naster

Bob Hitchcock & Walter Hughes

Al Erickson &  Bob Babmey 

Emil Miller. Emil is 90 years old and served in the Air Force as a radioman. He also was shown in the local newspaper this morning.

Please take a look at the photos and then make your way out to the airport. There are many more photos at: http://www.photoshelter.com/mem/images/index#/C0000CUhoKjOGvmE/G0000vkcIkfn67e0/

I also took a video with my phone of the B24 being parked and that is posted here as well. Enjoy! Here is the You Tube link (PLease leave comments if you enjoy my postings):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddw5e8TsrRU
