ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (WNCN) — Just in time for Memorial Day, some of the rarest pieces of World War II military history landed at the Rocky Mount Wilson Regional Airport.
The Airpower History Tour, which makes several stops across North America each year, takes visitors on an epic journey through iconic pieces of aviation history. The planes are hosted by the Commemorative Air Force, which has collected WWII aircraft for more than six decades.
B-29 Superfortress “FIFI,” which once carried 20,000 pounds of bombs for 3,000 miles during World War II, is among the aircraft at the airport.
It will be accompanied by other real or variant aircraft such as a T-6 Texan, a PT-13 Stearman, and the RC-45J SNB “Big Oily Beast.”
