The thrilling flight was organized for the “Open day” event organized by Fort Hunter Liggett army base in Monterey County, California in the United States on the 15th of May.

In a video, by the army base, the historic aircraft named “Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber” can be seen smoothly landing on the ground.

According to the Fort Hunter Liggett, “the touchdown was so gentle that very little dust was kicked up” by the aircraft.

“Betsy’s Biscuit Bomber” arrived with special guests who were treated to a variety of events.

Fort Hunter Liggett’s “Open day” was organized to present to the public World War II vehicles from the Estrella Warbird Museum in their original glory.
