The Liberty Foundation will begin its 2012 Salute to Veterans tour in Atlanta next week with public flights on WWII plans June 9-10.

The restored “Memphis Belle” B-17 “flying fortress” bomber and Rae Curtiss P-40 Warhawk planes are taken around the country to educate people about WWII veterans and aircrew who never made it home.

The tour will also include ground tours of the planes. Flying tours are $450 per person.

The event takes place at Peachtree-DeKalb Airport, Epps Aviation, 1 Aviation Way in Atlanta.
