ENID There will be a homecoming, of sorts, Saturday afternoon at Enid Woodring Regional Airport. <\/p>\n
Lady Liberty, an A-26 Invader bomber, is being relocated from Oklahoma City to Woodring by its owners, the American Airpower Heritage Museum, a division of the Commemorative Air Force. <\/p>\n
After making a couple of passes over Enid, Lady Liberty is expected to touch down at approximately 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Woodring. <\/p>\n
Im ecstatic, said Enid Woodr-ing Regional Airport manager Dan Ohnesorge. It is a neat airplane, a neat addition to our tenant fleet. <\/p>\n
A training version of the A-26, the TB-26, was used for advanced pilot training at Vance Air Force Base from World War II until 1955. A TB-26 static display currently is on display outside the wing headquarters building at Vance. <\/p>\n
Lady Libertys home hangar at Oklahoma Citys Wiley Post Airport is being sold, Ohnesorge said, so its owners contacted him about relocating to Enid. <\/p>\n
Our old city hangar was coming open and we were looking for a tenant, Ohnesorge said. <\/p>\n
Ken Larcher, one of the aircrafts pilots, flew up to look at the hangar, and decided it fit his groups needs. <\/p>\n
It fit the decor of a World War II-type bomber, Ohnesorge said. It is a round-top hangar. It is rustic. Plus, the airplane fits inside of it and the price was right. <\/p>\n
We talked about a couple of issues, and we talked about how excited we would be to have them here. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
