Opportunity to fly in WWII plane coming June 21
The Commemorative Air Force, the largest flying military aircraft museum, Music City Wing, will set up various aircraft later this month for the community members to see and fly in.
The Third Annual Warbird Day, an aviation show featuring World War II era aircraft, is scheduled for Saturday, June 21 at the Lebanon Municipal Airport.
The MCW says a PT-19 Miss Cornelia is available for attendees to fly in, to experience what WWII pilots saw while in the air in these aging planes. The group is asking for donations to support aircraft maintenance and preservation.
Anyone wishing to ride in the PT-19 is asked to book at
MCW started four years ago as a unit of the CAF, a nonprofit organization which is based at the Lebanon Municipal Airport. Two vintage military aircraft are maintained and flown, a 1942 North American Navy SNJ-4 Texan and the aforementioned PT-19.
The Miss Cornelia is named for a local Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron pilot Cornelia Clark Fort (1919-1943).
