Are you jonesing for the power and grace of a B-17? Do you want to marvel at a twin-engine WWII B-25 bomber being louder on board than a four-engine B-17? I have good news for you! No, our beautiful B-17 Aluminum Overcast isn’t coming; she’s still down for more repair work. And EAA’s B-25 Berlin Express is staying close to home in Wisconsin and Illinois this summer. But the Commemorative Air Force’s Airbase Arizona is bringing their “Flying Legends of Victory” tour to Warrenton-Fauquier Airport June 9-14, 2026, featuring rides and ground tours on their lovely B-17G Sentimental Journey and B-25J Maid in the Shade. If you want to book rides or learn more about their schedule on site, their website is live here: https://www.azcaf.org/location/warrenton-va-tour-stop/.
For even more fun, the airport will be hosting the Sentimental Journey Dance on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 7:00 to 9:30 PM at the terminal. Dress in your best vintage attire and enjoy live period music by the 17-piece Silver Tones Swing Band and their Andrews Sisters style vocalists, the Silver Belles. The event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be available for a donation. Check out the event here: https://www.fauquiercounty.gov/Home/Components/Calendar/Event/68972/.
Should I start singing “I’ll Be Seeing You” there?
