Tag: Wings of Freedom Tour

Some of the larger planes in the Wings of Freedom Tour last week made fly-bys in our neighborhood as they took in aerial views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Olympic Mountains.

This and the first shot are of a B-25 Mitchell.

We saw the B-24 Liberator, on the left, and the B-25 Mitchell, right, as they left the Olympic Peninsula for whatever’s next. It was nice to have them in our skies. The sound of those big aircraft engines is so distinctive.

I hope I can get out and see them on the ground next year.

The Wings of Freedom Tour came to the Olympic Peninsula for a few days last week. An assortment of World War II military planes came to Port Angeles for tours of planes on the ground. We were buzzed by a P-40 Warhawk that flew over our home.

People with more disposable income could opt for flights in some of the aircraft, B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell, and a P-51 Mustang. And big spenders could opt for full dual control flight training in the P-40 Warhawk, above.

We have a number of pilots and small plane owners in our neighborhood. A flight like this would be just the ticket.
