The Collings Foundation has released some initial dates for their 2018 Wings of Freedom tour. This will once again bring Warbirds like the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 Liberator, the B-25 Mitchell and P-51 Mustang to local airports for rides. It looks like the list is incomplete, but they have said they plan to visit over 100 airports this year!
