Advertisement in July 23, 2017, Chicago Tribune.
It was an eye-catching ad with those four wonderful old World War II Warbirds: B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell and P-51 Mustang. Those planes will catch my eye every day.
The tour is at the Chicago Executive Airport (unfortunately, they didn't say where it was) July 26 to July 30.
Walk-through tours are $15 for adults. And, you can fly in one of the bombers for $400 to $450.

I looked the Chicago Executive Airport up and found it to be the former Palwaukee Airport which is not too far from where I formerly lived in Palatine, Illinois. I might just go see those old Warbirds. Now, if they also had a British Spitfire like the ones in the movie "Dunkirk" that would really make this a must-see event for me.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
