Rides on this B-52 bomber will be available June 4 and June 5 at the Hogan Field Fly-In at the Butler County Regional Airport.

HAMILTON – TriStaters can learn about aircraft used by the military in World War II when some of the planes come to the Butler County Regional Airport this weekend for the Hogan Field Fly-In.

There visitors can go through planes and schedule a ride in the B-25 Champaign Gal, a medium bomber brought in by the Urbana-based Champaign Aviation Museum.

“Our mission is to educate and share history – touching lives by restoring history,’’ said Jessica Henry, the museum’s development director, and granddaughter of a WWII vet.

The fly-in runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, June 4, and Saturday, June 5, at the airport’s Hogan Field, 2820 Airport Road East, off Bobmeyer Road. There is a $10 fee on Saturday, which includes a tour of the B-25 cockpit.
