The B-17 is a heavy bomber bristling with armament. They earned a deadly reputation and were legendary for their ability to return home after taking brutal poundings.
The B-25 was developed by North American Aviation and used mainly as a low altitude strafe and skip bomber. Nearly 10,000 B-25s were produced and “Maid in the Shade” is one of 34 still flying today.
The Beechcraft Model 18 was initially introduced to the civilian market in 1937, but once war broke out, its potential was realized and production of the C-45 Expeditor began in large quantities. It was used in every branch of American service during WWII and Korea and remains one of the world’s most widely used light aircraft

More about the Flying Legends of Victory Tour


Not everyone can visit the Airbase Arizona Museum for an up-close and personal inspection of our historic warbirds. So, in the summer, we take our World War II planes to the public to fulfill our mission of educating generations about the role of aviation in combat history. The Flying Legends of Victory Tour, starts in May and ends in September. Our flying warbirds travel to cities in the US and Canada.
Keep your eyes to the skies when our B-25 Maid in the Shade and B-17 Sentimental Journey fly overhead to their next destination. And come visit us when we’re in your town. Rides and tours are available, but be sure to book your seat in advance because we’ll only be there for a limited time.
