Press release:
The Manassas Regional Airport is hosting the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) B-17 and Ford Tri-Motor from Oct. 20-23, 2016.
These are two rare, historic airplanes. The Ford Tri-Motor, built in 1929, was among the very first mass produced airliners from the “Golden Age” of flight. The 1945 B-17G bomber is one of the most iconic images of World War II, a vivid link back to the brave men and women of the “greatest generation.” Few of these aircraft exist now outside museums, but you can watch these two beautifully restored planes fly and even buy rides on both of them at the Manassas Regional Airport. The bomber will also be open for ground tours.
