MID-ATLANTIC AIR MUSEUM'S WORLD WAR II
WEEKEND
TWO WARBIRD RIDE ADDITIONS One old friend, the Commemorative Air Force - Capital Wing's TBM Avenger torpedo bomber "Doris Mae" returns to WWII Weekend. You can book a flight with the CAF now for the legendary TBM, fondly known as the "Turkey" to her crews. Likewise, the operators of the B-29 "FIFI", the B-24 "Diamond Lil", the B-25J "Panchito", the B-17G "Yankee Lady", the C-47 "Hairless Joe" , the P-51D Mustang "Red Nose", and the SBD-5 Dauntless "Lady in Blue", are now taking WWII Weekend bookings for their warbirds . Making her first appearance at Reading, is the CAF Jayhawk Wing's Cessna UC-78B Bobcat, a two-engine transition trainer. You can book directly with MAAM now to reserve seats on either the UC-78B Bobcat, aka "The Bamboo Bomber" , or the SB2C-5 Helldiver. When you throw in MAAM's PT-19T Cornell and SNJ-4B Texan, which you can only sign up for at the show, that's a round dozen of fabulous, rare WWII Warbirds from which to choose. Interested? Follow the Warbird Rides bomb link for all the details on your chosen plane and make your warbird wish come true! Don't wait too long, though, as some flights can and will sell out before the show.
"THE SWEETHEART OF THE FORCES" That was the nickname given to the North American B-25 "Mitchell" medium bomber by her crews. The Delaware Aviation Museum is now taking reservations for Flight Adventures aboard "Panchito" , surely one of the prettiest of the type. Check her out on the Warbird Rides page and make your reservation now.
MAKE A DATE WITH A HEAVY GIRL ! Among the 2023 Gathering of Warbirds this June are two big beauties whose names are"FIFI" and "Diamond Lil". The Commemorative Air Force's AirPower Squadron is currently taking reservations for flights aboard their super rare B-29 Superfortress and B-24 Liberator heavy bombers. Better hurry before their dance cards are full! While these two large ladies are the only gals in the "dating pool " in time for the holidays, come February 27, you will able to book flights directly from MAAM or their operators aboard your choice of a nine other legendary warbirds, including four more bombers, a fighter, a twin-engine trainer and a transport. Finally, there are a pair of nimble two-seat trainers that you can only book at the show, first come, first fly. All the intel about all these fabulous flights can be found on the Warbird Rides Page by selecting its bomb link on the right.
Another great line-up of rare WWII aircraft will again be performing over Spaatz Field, AKA Reading Regional Airport, this year. See the Airshow Roster and Warbird Rides bomb links for the "Big Picture".
