"Betty Jane" a World War II era North American TP-15C Mustang.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Wings of Freedom tour a living history display of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, Consolidated B-24 Liberator, and North American P-51 Mustang… The backbone of American air power in World War II is coming to Connecticut.<\/p>\n

Sixty years after their use over the skies of enemy territory, they embark on a new mission over the skies of America to honor our veterans of World War II, promote education of our future generations about the role of the aircraft and the flight crews of World War II, and to preserve these treasures of American aviation history where they belong: the sky.<\/p>\n

The aircraft will be available for ground tours and flight experiences at Igor I Sikorsky Memorial Airport from September 7th to September 10th, and at Waterbury-Oxford Airport between September 10th and September 13, 2010.<\/p>\n
