Yes, there really were World War II bombers in the air over Lubbock yesterday. My father would have gotten such a thrill out of seeing them. He was an anti-aircraft gunner in WWII and protected the bombers out every morning and in every evening at Snetterdon Heath AFB in England.
When I saw they were here Jim and I ran out to the airport to snap a couple of pictures of them. The historian told me they are in better shape now than when they were flying missions in the war. It was a great coincidence that they were here, because I have been teaching my 2nd grade enrichment group about WWII. We put the pictures up in our room with our other information about WWII.
