The B-17 Flying Fortress Texas Raiders is one of only three remaining that are actively flying in the U.S. today. This aircraft was the first Flying Fortress to be restored solely for the sake of education and use as a flying museum, and is an accurately restored B-17, bristling with machine guns and featuring period-specific equipment.
Joining the iconic bomber will be the C-47 paratroop transport That’s All Brother, the very aircraft that carried the crew who led the main force of paratroopers into France during the D-Day Invasion on June 6, 1944.
Other visiting aircraft will include the only flying example of the notorious SB2C Helldiver dive-bomber, the popular SNJ/T6 Texan advanced trainer in which thousands of Texas airmen trained for combat, and a twin engine Navy transport in which the whole family can fly together. All the warbirds are notable for their historic significance and level of restoration, and will offer cockpit tours and flights to the public beginning Friday afternoon, July 1st.
The public is invited to enjoy on-board tours and warbird flights with the aircraft crews at
Signature Flight Support, 4321 Emma Browning Ave, Austin, TX 78719.
