Entry No. 41 — the Phoenix file — filed under: warbirds

CAF Airbase Arizona (Commemorative Air Force Museum)

Volunteer-restored WWII-to-Vietnam warbirds — including the flyable B-17 'Sentimental Journey' — kept airworthy by an all-volunteer crew obsessed with keeping combat aircraft flying rather than just parked behind glass.

The move: Walk the hangar floor together, then check if a flight-day is scheduled — you can watch (or book a ride in) an actual flying WWII bomber, not just look at one.
