Your Chance to Fly in an Authentic, WWII-Era "Liberty Belle" B-17

Buffalo, NY (WBEN) -- On Saturday, July 31 and Sunday, August 1, The Liberty Foundation is offering public flights on an authentic, World War Two-era B-17 bomber aircraft.

The "Liberty Belle" that will fly over Buffalo was built in the mid-1940s, and the war ended before it could begin service. But it's the identical twin of the original Liberty Belle, which made 64 bomb runs over Nazi-controlled Europe.
