WWII Veteran goes back in time in vintage B-25 bomber
Central Albertans are invited to fly in a piece of history this week.
Red Deer Airport is home to a vintage B-25 Mitchell bomber airplane through Sunday, August 13.
The plane restored by the Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum flew its maiden flight in August 1940. It played an important part in 1942 in Tokyo with the Doolittle Raiders and went on to fly 15 combat missions over Italy.
There were 9,984 of the bombers produced. Only 34 remain operational in retired status today.
