Last Chance to Tour WWII Planes in Napa

Today is the last day you can tour and even fly in an original World War II "warbird" as part of the Wings of Freedom tour. The vintage B-17, B-24 and P-51 are at the Napa airport until noon.

It's not too late to see, and even take a flight in, original World War II military aircraft at the Napa County Airport. But you'd better get over there this morning, or they'll be flying away.

The "Wings of Freedom Tour 2012" brings three vintage warbirds owned by the Collings Foundation to local airfields for tours and demonstrations.

The aircraft include the only flying B-24 Liberator, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and a P-51 Mustang fighter.
