Our award winning B-17G Yankee Lady is the finest example of this type of aircraft still flying in the world today. The Boeing B-17, nicknamed the "Flying Fortress", was a long range heavy bomber that was given the task of destroying enemy war facilities through precision strategic bombardment. Take a step back in history as you learn more about this magnificent aircraft or better yet, experience it by taking a flight.
The North American B-25 "Mitchell" bombers, named after Gen. "Billy" Mitchell, were the most effective medium bombers of World War II, probably best remembered for the carrier-launched Doolittle Raid against Japan in April of 1942. The Yankee Warrior is the only flying B-25D-35 and one of very few aircraft with documented combat history. For a once in a lifetime experience take a flight on this combat veteran.
The Douglas C-47 Skytrain was a military transport developed from the Douglas DC-3 airliner. C-47s had many roles, from transporting troops in the jungles of New Guinea and Burma to airlifting supplies to the embattled American forces during the Battle of Bastogne. Their most influential role in military aviation may have been flying The Hump from India into China and later in the Berlin Airlift. Flights on our award winning Skytrain are available to members on excursion flights to destinations of interest throughout the flying season.
V-77 Stinson Reliant
The Stinson Reliant was a popular high wing monoplane manufactured by the Stinson Aircraft Division of the Aviation Manufacturing Corporation of Wayne, Michigan. Stinson Reliants were introduced in 1938 and were used by the U.S. Army in World War II as a utility aircraft and as a trainer. They were also used by the British Royal Navy for transport. After the war they were put to civilian market as Vultee V-77. Step back in time by taking a flight in the Yankee Air Museums Yankee Friendship.
