Thanks for posting this information up. The Wings of Freedom Tour is great if you are into WWII aircraft. I took a long lunch and drove down to check it out. For the entry fee you get to climb through these rare airplanes and see what they are like from the inside.

B-24 Liberator

B-17 Flying Fortress

Inside the B-17 nose. Must be a great view from here in the air.

Looking towards the back through the B-17 bomb bay. Carried a surprisingly small number of ordinance.

In the waist gunner area looking forward towards the ball turret and bomb bay. Seats installed for passenger rides.

B-25 Mitchell. The P-51 Mustang had just taken off for a paid customer ride, so no pics of it.

I saw those planes flying overhead while sitting outside at grandmas bday party in Shark River Hills - pretty neat to hear them and see them flying.
