If you keep your eye to the sky this weekend chances are your going to see some unique aircraft flying over the skies of Panama City.
The Tyndall Gulf Coast Salute will feature the latest hi-tech aircraft the Air Force has to offer, as well as some that have been gracing the skies for over the last half century.
B-25 Pilot Jim Terry said, "when you get in the airplane it’s like going back to 1942 the air plane is just as it was then has the exact same engines it had then the same equipment and makes the same god awful racket."
"The reason we get to do this is because of the veterans World War II that flew all these planes all those years ago. They call them the greatest generation and they truly were the greatest generation, and that was the best America had to offer 65 years ago and it’s just amazing to us that they actually flew machines like this in combat."
Now, the B-25 is a flying museum, so everyone can see and appreciate what that generation did to fight for our freedom.
If you would like to catch a ride on the Pacific Prowler you can go to Precision Air, next to the Panama City Bay County International Terminal on Sunday from 10:00 a.m - 2:00 p.m. Rides are on sale as part of a fundraiser to help restore the B-25.
