Historic Airplanes, Aviators, Rides Come to EP This Weekend

Know any children who can't get enough of old airplanes? Never outgrew that phase yourself? Then head over to Air Expo 2013 this weekend!

Almost a dozen historic airplanes and 50 historic aviators will fly in to the Flying Cloud Airport on July 13 and 14. Star of the show will be a World War Two-vintage B-17 bomber and a similarly antique P-51 fighter, according to the Sun Current.

Spectators will be able to take flights in a variety of historic aircraft, take in aerobatic displays, and hear stories of heroism from a former Space Shuttle commander and some of the first female and African-American pilots in the US military during a Saturday night dinner.
