The Movie "Memphis Belle", a restored WWII B-17 "flying fortress" bomber will take to the skies over Chattanooga on Monday. Public flights and ground tours will be available on Sunday, Oct. 26.
Sixty-nine years ago these aircraft flew from bases far from home in an attempt to bring freedom to oppressed peoples.
The B-17s mission for today is to educate the people of America about the courageous WWII veterans, and remember those brave aircrew who never made it home.
Officials said, "Memphis Belle is a living museum, our heritage not in mothballs or the pages of a dusty book, but real life, three dimensions, here and now. You are invited to come touch the past and fly through ageless skies."
