A B-25J Mitchell named "Maid in the Shade" will be giving tour flights the weekend at the High Sky Wing. This aircraft flew fifteen combat missions from Seraggia Airport on the island of Corsica in November and December 1944 as Battle 18 with the distinctive blue tail and blue ring cowls she now displays. The aircraft later became an aerial pest spray aircraft. It eventually arrived at the then Arizona Wing of the CAF and was in restoration for almost 29 years until her first flight in May 2009.
