Weather delays arrival of 4 WWII airplanes at airport
QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (AP) — Inclement weather is preventing four vintage World War II airplanes from flying to an upstate New York airport for a visit.
The Massachusetts-based Collings Foundation's Wings of Freedom Tour was scheduled to arrive at Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport in Queensbury, Warren County, for a four-day stopover starting around noon Monday.
But the organization says Monday afternoon that the arrival has been postponed due to weather conditions and is rescheduled for around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.
The tour plans to fly four warplanes to the airport. They include a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, a Consolidated B-24 Liberator, a B-25 Mitchell and a North American P-51 Mustang. They're among the only of their kind still flying.
