B-17 & B-25 Coming to Warrenton

Airbase Arizona of the Commemorative Air Force is bringing its gorgeous B-17 Sentimental Journey and stalwart B-25 Maid in the Shade to Warrenton- Fauquier Airport for tours and revenue flights from June 18-23, 2024. We don’t yet know whether they’ll want us to support them (and ourselves!) by bringing our concession trailer to sell food on Saturday and Sunday, but if that transpires, we’ll put out a call for volunteers. In the meantime, though, put these dates on your calendar and plan to visit two classic warbirds. The current schedule has ground tours on both planes on Tuesday and Wednesday all day from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, and on Thursday through Sunday only in the afternoons, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Ground tours cost $15 per person and $30 for a family of four, and are purchased at the gate. Revenue flights are scheduled Thursday through Sunday from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm, which explains the lack of morning ground tours. For each plane, the price varies with the location of the seat you’re buying, and you stay in that section of the plane. On the B-17, it’s $475 for each of the 6 waist compartment seats, and $850 for each of the 2 bombardier/navigator compartment seats. On the B-25, it’s $375 for each of the 4 radio compartment seats, and $590 for each of the 3 jump seats. For more information and to book your seats, click here. Keep ’em flying – even the ones that aren’t ours! Every ticket sold for any tour – ground or flight – helps keep these warbirds in the air.
