Vintage World War II 'warbirds' land in Wheeling | |
July 28, 2013 Three vintage World War II planes -- a B-24 Liberator, a P-51 Mustang fighter and a B-17 Flying Fortress -- landed Saturday at Wheeling's Chicago Executive Airport as part of the Wings of Freedom Tour. Aviation major Alex Kwiatkowski, 20, of Wheaton, got to ride the Mustang as a birthday gift. For others, such as Beach Park resident Jim Brahos, 90, the war planes held too many bad memories.
