Pro Tip

Call ahead to be admitted through Gate W-10 by the tower or arrange an appointment; donations directly support the restoration and docents often share extended, personalized tours.

B-17 Alliance was formed to keep the legacy of the Greatest Generation alive: the 16 million Americans who fought World War II and built the country we have today. Tour guides share these stories. This to-flight restoration of a B-17G with a wingspan of 103 feet is one of less than 10 in the world of its kind. See the restoration in progress, visit our Gift shop, or plan a unique event. All at the historic Salem McNary airfield in the Lacey Lady Hangar. Under these wings… We Preserve American History. We Educate Generations. We Inspire Community.
