CTWG: CT CAP Member flys on B24

Waterbury-Oxford Airport in Oxford: The flight, which also included a B-24 Liberator, a B-25 Mitchell and a P-51 Mustang, was sponsored by the Massachusetts-based Collings Foundation. That nonprofit organization restores World War II-era aircraft to their original condition and displays them at airfields across the country.

"Noah Beaulieu, a 14-year-old Southington resident and Civil Air Patrol member, saved four months’ worth of lawn-mowing money to fly on the B-24. When he landed, a smiling Beaulieu said it was definitely worth it."

“It was pretty fun,” Beaulieu said. “I wasn’t expecting how loud the wind was going to be, but after you get over the noise, it’s pretty fun.”
