Wings of Freedom 2009

I spent a few hours at Waterbury-Oxford airport this afternoon photographing the Betty Jane, a World War II era TP-51C Mustang. The “Betty Jane” is touring the country along with the B-17G “Nine-O-Nine” and the B-24J “Witchcraft” as of the Collings Foundation’s annual Wings of Freedom tour.

I’ve photographed both the Nine O Nine and the Witchcraft extensively over the last few years so main focus today was the Betty Jane (a full set of photos is available in the Gallery.) but I did snap a few photos of the other aircraft and exhibits:
