They will be in Lawton from 4/3-4/5 and OKC from 4/5-4/7

B17 Flying Fortress, B24 Liberator, P 51 Mustang, and a Messerschmitt Me 262.

$12 to get inside the planes for a close up look.

For $425 you can get a 30 minute flight in one of the bombers or for a piddly $2200 you get 30 minutes in one of the fighters (those with deep pockets can drop $3200 for an hour ride.

We have a P-51 home based near me... I live near Ellington Field and see a P-51 regularly. It is a beauty to behold flying and the throaty engine sound is awesome.

At a minimum, take the walking tour.

Have walked through a B-17 parked at Love Field and a B-24 at the Massena, NY airport.

And that B-17, The Texas Raider, me and my buddy were just outside the chain link fence a few yards away from it when it fired up the engines to leave. I was real glad that my car was not one of the ones parked along the fence when that bird swung round and pelted them and us with gravel thrown up by the prop wash.
