certainly be inspiring as the 1943 aircraft that will touch ground at the
Museum served as
military transport during the Second World War. One Sunday per
 
month, from June
to September, the foundation aviators will not only fly in a living piece
 
of our aviation
heritage, but will also interact with visitors to give them an idea of
just
 
what it feels like
to fly these unique time capsules.
