Fly into history aboard a WWII bomber [VIDEO]

Watch this story: Public climbs aboard a WWII bomber

One of only 12 B-17s that can still fly was in Eugene Saturday, flying over many of our heads as it took off from Eugene Airport to give other locals a ride.

The Liberty Belle is what organizers call a “flying museum,” and a great way to pay tribute to Americans who fought overseas during the war.

On Saturday The Liberty Foundation offered public flights aboard this historic plane. Crowds of people both young and old watched the plane take off and land at the Eugene Airport.
