Though Friday was hot and humid, thunderstorms rumbled through the area on Friday evening to clear out the sky for the rest of the weekend events. If taking a ride in a B-17, watching a P-51 strafe the field, or buying WWII collectibles in the flee market wasn’t enough to satisfy your WWII appetite, then attendees could also listen to the riveting stories of pilots who flew these famous warbirds in combat. Among those heroes giving daily briefings to the public were Col. Charles McGee, a Tuskegee airman who flew in three wars, and Col. Robert Morgan, pilot of the B-17 “Memphis Belle.” GA pilots who want to experience the sights and sounds of this growing event next year can check out the WWII Weekend web site for information on flying your own plane to Reading.
