For one weekend only, WWII AirPower Expo 2015 takes over the tarmac at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport with a fleet of legendary WWII aircraft—fully restored and ready to fly. Visitors can touch and feel the planes, climb inside the cockpits, and even strap in for a chance-of-a-lifetime ride-along flight. Guests can also view ground vehicles from the Museum's collection, meet WWII veterans, and experience history hands-on with WWII uniforms and gear. Visitors will also be privy to Victory Belles performances throughout the day, along with interviews from WWII veterans and pilots. Don't miss this chance to see history in flight!
