The B-25 will be in Regina on Friday to fly demonstration flights and provide rides on Saturday and Sunday.
“It has been many years since Reginans have had the opportunity to see an aircraft like this one,” said EAA event coordinator Malcolm McLeod. “The B-25 will provide a chance to see an impressive plane and share the experience of wartime air crews.”
