Officials with the airport announced this week that a B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell, P-40 Warhawk and P-51 Mustang will be on display thanks to the Collings Living History Museum and Educational Foundation.

For a fee, visitors could also take a flight into history aboard any of the aircraft. Officials said availability of select aircraft for ground viewing is subject to change based on weather and maintenance circumstances.











The birds will be on display Monday, August 12 through Thursday, August 15.

Tours are $15 for adults, $5 for children under 12, and WWII veterans enter free of charge.
