Over 3500 people came out to the Massena Airport over three days to take in the sights and sounds of this year's Wings of Freedom event. The weekend kicked off with an opening ceremeony attended by New York State Veteran's Affairs representative George Basher and Congressman John McHugh.

On Saturday and Sunday, thousands came to tour the Collings Foundation B-17 and B-24 World War II aircraft and visit many exhibits and other display aircraft. See photos below:
