Xcorps Airborne B24 LIBERATOR seg1 - Xcorps TV goes airborne once again with this special presentation featuring the ONLY flying B-24 Liberator WW-2 heavy bomber restored and maintained by the Collings Foundation based in Massachusetts.
Xcorps viewers know we like flying on our show with past episodes featuring hosts Bob Woodard over San Diego in a 1927 open cockpit Travel Air biplane and Jason Lazo in a Russian Mig-21 approaching the sound barrier over the Nevada desert! Now in this XC episode we met and rolled cameras on the Collings Foundations historic B-24 Liberator aircraft which landed at the Xcorps home base airport of Carlsbad California during their nationwide US tour. The Collings Foundation operates two touring collections of historic military aircraft: The Wings of Freedom Tour and The Vietnam Memorial Flight.
Join us as Xcorps TV on camera host and reporter Jason Lazo dons his leather jacket and meets copilot and B-24 crewman for the Collings foundation, Derick “Otter” Ward who leads Jason on a detailed cockpit to tail gun tour of a very rare part of American aviation and military history.
This special commemorative Xcorps segment wraps with Jason in the cockpit of the B-24 reday to roll! Check out the FORD logo on the steering wheel! Stay tuned for more action in the next segment with Jason going airborne in the only B-24 left flying on the planet thanks to the Collings Foundation tour and its non-profit educational efforts to give Americans a look FEEL and SOUND of its aviation history.
