A restored World War II bomber jet will offer tours and rides as a way to show younger generations what it feels like to fly in a historic warplane such as this.

The Liberty Belle, a World War II B-17 flying fortress bomber is scheduled to fly over Tucson skies on Monday, March 19.

According to a Liberty Foundation news release, this type of aircraft was flown over 60 years ago and is now being showcased as a way to educate people about the pilots who flew this type of plane during the Second World War.

Liberty Foundation sources also say the exhibition and bomber demonstrations are meant as a way for everyone to remember those B-17 bomber pilots who never made it home.

Liberty Belle flight organizers say the B-17 is an old bomber with a new mission because now they hope it helps the youth understand a little more about what if was like to fly this fighter plane.

The Liberty Belle will be on display in Tucson in conjunction with the 390^th Bomb Group reunion. This group flew planes like the Liberty Bell during World War II.
