Historic B-17 coming to Asheville Airport Oct. 14-16

Posted on — Virginia Daffron

From Asheville Regional Airport:

The B-17 has a remarkable story – one filled with daring missions and personal sacrifice. You can relive that story aboard the EAA’s beautifully restored B-17 Flying Fortress Aluminum Overcast, October 14-16 at Asheville Regional Airport.

The B-17 serves as a tribute to those known as the greatest generation: the bold men and women who built and served on the heavy bombers in WWII in the 1940s.

Ground tours and flights available. For details and pricing visit B17.org | 800-359-6217
