The Madras Maiden, a restored B-17 bomber, takes flight over Montgomery Monday. The plane is in town for an airshow this weekend.
“It’s going to be our first real Red Tail airshow over Montgomery,” said Director of Flight Operations Ray Fowler.
The B-17 will be available for flights Sunday at the Alabama Air National Guard.
The plane will be on public display on Saturday and after the flights on Sunday.
