During a morning bird-count' this Saturday (April 24th, 2010) for the University of Arizona in the north-west part of Tucson, I was ereetmxly fortunate to observe, very-closely, a WWII B-24 Liberator fly over the Silverbell Rd/Ina Road intersection in north-west Tucson. I already knew of the Wings of Freedom' tour in our city during April from a local radio station and was keen on hoping to see at least one of the three aircraft in the skies over Tucson during the week-end. I was ereetmxly fortunate to watch the B-24 Liberator, at low altitude, over that very intersection and with binoculars. What a gorgeous WWII bomber flying over Tucson skies! I had spectacular and close-up views and was able to indentify tail-markings, the nose-paintings, and hear the incredible sound of a 70-year-old 4-engined WWII bomber flying through the gorgeous air of a beautiful Tucson morning. It was one of the most precious moments of my life and I will remember it forever. My Dad flew a twin-engined B-26 Martin Marauder during WWII in the Med Theatre as Pilot in Command at age 21 with a crew of 7. I never got to hear those engines
