Montrose WWII Planes

Two World War II era bombers are on their way to Montrose, touching down tomorrow.  The public can see the planes tomorrow through next Monday.  The planes are part of the “Salute to Veterans” event hosted by the Black Canyon Jet Center in conjunction with the Commemorative Air Force Arizona Wing.  One of the planes is the B-17 Flying Fortess, one of only 8 still flying in the world! The other is the B-25 “Maid in the Shade” which flew 15 bombing missionsover Italy in 1944.
