What Will I See?
- CAF Helldiver (SB2C): This is the only one still flying today out of 7,140 built and one of only five complete aircraft remaining. This aircraft first flew into combat in the campaign for Rabaul in November 1943. The Helldiver was a Navy carrier-based and U.S. Marine island-based aircraft. It was significantly faster and more potent than the SBD and was responsible for more ship tonnage sunk during WWII than any other aircraft.
- A-26 Invader "Lady Liberty: Our Lady is the oldest flying Invader, the 130th one produced, being accepted in August 1944, at Long Beach, CA. It was flown to Great Dunmow, England, arriving September 20, 1944. It was assigned to the 9th AF, 410th BG, and began combat operations in early 1945.
The 410th was initially assigned 4 A-26's. Each squadron was given one aircraft. They were painted completely black and initially used as night interdiction aircraft ranging all over Germany.
-
Stearman Flight Formation Demo Team: The Stearman Model 75, often referred to simply as the "Stearman," is the most famous aircraft to come out of Stearman Aircraft’s short but influential history. Introduced in the early 1930s, it became the standard primary trainer for both the United States Army Air Corps and the United States Navy.

Many more additional aircraft to be announced soon!
