An interesting side-trip:
27th Annual
World War II Weekend
June 2, 3, & 4, 2017
Reading, PA (2 hours from Baltimore)
In my experience, the biggest & best World War II commemorative event in the country
● Air show with vintage World War II aircraft
● Several hundred re-enactors of every description
● Military vehicles & displays
● And most important, veterans of the war will be in the hangar
to meet the public
(if you have young kids or grandkids, this is a rare opportunity
to hear from the men & women who were there, as well as an
opportunity to show our appreciation)
● Military Flea Market with historic artifacts, military surplus
goods, T-shirts, movies, toys, posters, etc., etc.
● Sign-up for the Warbird Rides and fly aboard a vintage World
War II aircraft. It’s pricy, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
My son rode on the B-17 in 2008; it was memorable
experience (see certificate & photos)
● Hangar dance with Big Band music on Friday & Saturday
evenings
Hosted by the:
Mid-Atlantic Air Museum
Located at the Reading Regional Airport
11 Museum Drive
Reading, PA 19605
