Vintage World War II aircraft will be making an appearance at Brunswick Executive Airport this week with opportunities to fly in a little piece of American history.

As part of the Collings Foundation — Wings of Freedom Tour, Brunswick will host a B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell and a P-51 Mustang from Wednesday through Friday.

The aircraft will be on display with opportunities to explore them inside and out. The planes will arrive around 2 p.m. on Wednesday, with ground tours until 5 p.m. On Thursday and Friday, tours will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The tours cost $12 for adults and $6 for children under 12. Flying in the planes is also available, ranging between $450 for a 30-minute flight to $3,200 for an hour in the P-51 Mustang.

The foundation notes that the rarity of these aircraft and their importance of telling the story of WWII is why it continues to fly and display them nationwide.

The Collings Foundation is a nonprofit organization, originally founded in 1979 to showcase living history events and presentations — primarily focused on transportation. Antique car rides, hill climbs and sleigh rides were held by the Stow, Massachusetts-based organization until 1989, when the major focus of the group became the Wings of Freedom Tour.

Celebrating 26 years, the tour has visited more than 3,000 airfields in the United States, with an annual viewing of some 3.5 million people.

The foundation said it serves a twofold purpose — first, honoring the veterans and the sacrifices they made and secondly, to educate other generations and visitors about the nation’s heritage.
