Sentimental Journey is coming to Edmonton Aug 30 to Sept 4.

B-17 Sentimental Journey is coming to Alberta Aviation Museum as part of the celebration of the North West Staging Route that spanned from the manufacturers in the USA to Russia supplying combat and other aircraft.

This made Edmonton the busiest airport in the World during the Second World War!

Join us for this amazing flying piece of history.

Tom
