Collings Foundation p-38 and b-17

It's been some time since they swung through and made a stop at TOM. It'd be lovely if we can see them in Michigan someday soon....P-38 included.

So is the new b-17 touring this season?

I don’t think you’ll see the p-38 on the wings of freedom tour as much as you will on the air show circuit. I’m guessing you can’t take a passenger
