Veterans Day Open House and New Exhibit Opening
Join the Commemorative Air Force Aircraft Museum on Sunday, Nov. 11 for its Annual Veterans Day Open House at the Commemorative Air Force Aircraft Museum.

The opening of a Special Veterans Day exhibit at 1 p.m. will be dedicated to the B-17 Flying Fortress “Chow Hound” that was lost in action on August 8, 1944 during World War II over France. The exhibit will feature photos and posters honoring the crew of “Chow Hound” and the 91st Bomb Group.

Henry F. Kortebein, brother of Marion Burkhardt of Scottsdale, was a flight engineer/top turret gunner aboard “Chow Hound.” Burkhardt donated artifacts to the exhibit that were recovered in July 2004 from the crash site in France. Kortebein and two other crewmembers’ remains were recovered during the excavation in 2004. The three airmen, who had been listed as POW/MIA, were interned in Arlington National Cemetery in August 2006.

Other warbirds on display for the Open House include the B-17 Flying Fortress “Sentimental Journey,” B-25 Mitchell Bomber, North American T-6 Trainers, Stearmans and more. This event will be an educational exhibit displaying Arizona’s history and honoring our veterans.

Admission price for the Open House is $7 for ages 14-adult; $3 for ages 6-13; and free for Veterans and kids ages 5 and younger. Admission includes tours through the B-17 “Sentimental Journey” and the Museum. Rides are available on the WWII T6 Trainer, and gift certificates may be purchased for flights on “Sentimental Journey” or other warbirds. Food and drinks also will be available.
