Description  World War II AirPower Expo One of the largest gatherings of authentic WWII aircraft will land at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport the first weekend of November. Rarely are so many historic aircraft together in one location. Visitors will be able to experience up close the sights, smells and sounds of WWII aviation. Co-sponsored by the Commemorative Air Force, National WWII Museum and the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, the WWII AirPower Expo is a family gathering in celebration of our American veterans and the planes they flew. Headlining the show will be FIFI, the longest flying B-29 Superfortress in the world; B-24 Liberator Diamond Lil; B-17 Flying Fortress Texas Raiders; B-25 Mitchell Yellow Rose; P-51 Mustang Gunfighter, plus a cast of many other airplanes. The aircraft will be featured in "Showcases" where historians and pilots discuss the aircraft, then fire it up and fly by for the audience. This year's event will include special appearances by up to three P-40 Flying Tigers and a gaggle of Japanese planes of Pearl Harbor. Both types will be flying each day.The P-40 is best known for its distinctive shark tooth mouth paint scheme. There will be children's activities and a physical challenge boot camp on site. Tanks, military vehicles, reenactors, and WWII artifacts from the National WWII Museum will also be on display. Rides and cockpit tours are available on a number of WWII airplanes. The dates are November 4 - 6, 2016 at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport. Please go to http://www.ww2airpowerexpo.org/ for more information or to purchase tickets.
