A restored B-17 bomber Aluminum Overcast will be on display later this month at the Chino Airport.
Restored by the Experimental Aircraft Association is making more than 30 stops during the 2013 "Experience History" national tour. EAA's Aluminum Overcast was built in 1945, but was delivered to the Army Air Corps too late to see active service in World War II. The B-17 was donated to the EAA Aviation Foundation in 1981 with the provision of the aircraft being maintained in airworthy condition. After being displayed at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wis., for a decade, the airplane made its national tour debut in the spring of 1994. The aircraft will be on display at April 30 and May 1 at Chino Airport, 7000 Merrill Ave., Chino. For more information, including rates for flights and ground tours, visit www.B17.org or contact EAA's B-17 Tour Office at 800-359-6217. Special pre-book rates on flights are available for EAA members and non-members.
