AT THE SUSSEX COUNTY AIRPORT!
Brought to you again this year by the Mid Atlantic Ford Dealers!
This event is sponsored by The Greater Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Delaware Aviation Museum and the Wheels that Heal Car Club and will be held on October 4, 2014 (rain date October 5) so mark your calendars now and don't miss this great event.
The event features a “Fly In” of vintage planes and a huge car show with classic cars, trucks and more, WW II Re-enactments, food vendors, craft vendors, musical entertainment, games and events for the kids.We are excited to announce this year that we will have Crew from the first bombing raid on Japan and crew from the last bombing raid on Japan!!! Locally, we also hvae the navigator that led the lead B-29 over the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay.
We welcome back this year, Lt. Col. Dick Cole. Dick was co-pilot to Jimmy Doolittle, mission commander. Lt. Col. Cole attends a lot of events but enjoyed Wings & Wheels so much, he has asked to return, which says a lot about our event! The raid on Tokyo on April 19, 1942, caused minor damage but it forced the Japanese to recall its forces. The B-25 bomber (pictured) used in the raid, was the largest aircraft at the time from the deck of a carrier--the USS Hornet. Click here for more information!
