This past Saturday, August 2, Menominee Regional Airport hosted a powerful flag-raising ceremony as part of its annual Freedom of Flight Day. The event was a poignant tribute to the men and women who have served in aviation and military history. Among the speakers at the ceremony was one of the Miss Mitchell B-25 bomber, a legendary aircraft that has played a significant role in American aviation history.

The ceremony, attended by veterans, families, and aviation enthusiasts, was a moment of reflection and gratitude for the sacrifices made by those who have fought for freedom. The Miss Mitchell B-25, a restored World War II bomber, served as a powerful symbol of the courage and determination of the pilots who flew it during wartime.
