About:
Join us on June 6 for WWII Living History Day. The Kelly’s Zeroes reenactors will be here with their fantastic displays in their WWII living history fashion. They will be on site helping to commemorate the anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. They will have a variety of displays and living historians present to share about the men and women who helped make the invasion a success. They will showcase weapons, uniforms, and equipment used during the invasion and throughout WWII.
Fly a C-47 Skytrain paratroop carrier or an escort fighter during the initial phases of D-Day!  Located just inside the Century of Flight Hanger, Mission Quest’s simulators take you to the heart of the action that early morning of June 6, 1944, as Allied forces retake Europe from German occupation.
Fun for Everyone!
