Next Saturday the city of Houston will get an up-close and personal look at aviation history as WWII-era planes put on an airshow for locals.
The Lone Star Flight Museum is organizing the Flight to the Finish Flyover event, marking the 75th VE Day, or the day Germany surrendered to the Allied Forces in WWII in 1945.
The museuem released a statement that said: "While it is the mission of the museum to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII, the Lone Star Flight Museum and its partners felt compelled to lift the spirits of the Houston community while we fight COVID-19. The program name, Fight to the Finish, was originally a nod to the efforts of those that fought in World War II, but today has even more significance that anyone could have imagined."
3o historic "warbirds" will fly over 18 different neighborhoods in the Houston area, beginning and ending their journey at Ellington Airport. The lineup will include a historic B-52 "Devil Dog," a P-51 Mustang, a SB2C Helldiver, and many more for enthusiastic plane watchers.
"The FAA-approved flight path was designed to allow spectators to see the aircraft from the safety of their homes," the Lone Star Flight Museum said. "We are bringing the planes to you!"
