The B-29 Superfortress “FIFI” and the B-24 Liberator “Diamond Lil” will visit the San Marcos Regional Airport as part of an event hosted by the CAF Central Texas Wing and the AirPower History Tour of the Commemorative Air Force this weekend.
The bombers will be accompanied by the P-51 Mustang “Gunfighter” and the L-26B Commander “Ike’s Bird,” that served as Air Force One for President Dwight Eisenhower. They will be joined by the C-47 “That’s All, Brother” and a T-6 Texan.
The AirPower History Tour brings the sights, sounds and stories of World War II aviation to airports across North America each year. Visitors to the ramp will be able to view all aircraft up close, purchase rides, and tour the B-29 and B-24 cockpits when the aircraft are not flying.
