Flights of Fancy

ARIZONA Commemorative Air Force Museum (AZCAF) announces the return of early morning "Dawn Patrol" flights available to the public starting September 21. The public may experience a living history flight in an open cockpit World War II Stearman bi-plane or a canopy cockpit seat in a World War II SNJ/T-6 Texan airplane in the morning when the weather is cooler.

These are two of seven World War II airplanes that comprise flying exhibits at AZCAF's 55,000 square-foot museum. Other warbirds include an ultra-rare B-17 Bomber, Sentimental Journey, one of eight still flying in the world, B-25 Bomber Maid in the Shade, and C-47 Cargo Old Number 30. Both the B-25 and C-47 aircraft have authentic combat histories from World War II.

Loch Ewe 75

AN exciting new event, the Loch Ewe World War II Festival, is being launched in Poolewe in Wester Ross, #Scotland this week, to show-case the intrepid Russian Arctic Convoys that braved the North Atlantic passage to Russia in extreme weather and war-time conditions. Once described by Sir Winston Churchill as the "the worst journey in the world" they brought support to our ally in what was a vital strategic war effort.

A two-day extravaganza of military and naval re-enactments in Loch Ewe and Aultbea will be complemented with a movie night, Highland Swing band, D-Day Darlings singers to reminisce along with some serious vintage glamour and military style.
