The distinctive rumble of radial engines from two of the rarest World War II bombers, the B-29 Superfortress âFIFIâ and B-24 Liberator âDiamond Lilâ, will be heard in the skies over Scottsbluff in August when they visit Western Nebraska Regional Airport as part of the AirPower History Tour of the Commemorative Air Force. The two bombers are to be accompanied by a T-6 Texan and the P-51 Mustang âBrat IIIâ.
The AirPower History Tour brings the sights, sounds, and stories of World War II aviation to airports across North America each year. Visitors to the ramp will be able to view all aircraft up close, purchase rides, and tour the B-29 and B-24 cockpits when the aircraft are not flying.
