Scott Maher with the Liberty Foundation's tour of the Liberty Belle B17 Bomber joined Bill and Rich this morning. The Liberty Belle is in Des Moines and will be open to the public through an event on May 31 from 10am-5pm at Signature Field.
This restored B17 Bomber is truly a living museum where people will discover history hands on. To be able to touch the past as you fly through ageless skies is a beautiful gift that the Liberty Belle affords its passengers.
During the flight, you're only seated for 10 minutes for take off and landing. The rest of the time, you spend discovering the nuances of this piece of history. The charge for the flight is only half of what it costs to take the Liberty Belle up. The Liberty Belle is one of 12,731 planes manufactured for the war. In the war, they lost 5,000. Today only 14 are flyable and of those only 8 fly. There are only 4 that are open to the public. This particular plane never saw combat, but was restored so that people can experience the past coming to life.
Fr. Eugene Koch is celebrating his 50th Anniversary as a priest. His celebration will be Sunday, May 31 at 4pm at Assumption Parish in Granger. The event begins with evening prayer sung by a choir formed specifically for the occasion and is followed by a reception where participants can greet and congratulate Fr. Koch.
Jon Leonetti and Jesse Weiler joined Bill and Rich live in the studio this morning. Jon and Jesse are co-walkers in the Souly Walking Project. Together they are walking across America to raise awareness to young people of the importance of living a life of prayer. Along the way they've stopped and spoken with many churches, youth groups and high schools.
For the next couple of days they will be in Des Moines, Jon's home town, where they will be "Souly Sleeping" for a few days. In these days, after being on Bill and Rich's show, Jon Leonetti is going to be broadcasting his show "Martyrs of the Third Millennium" live on Saturday, May 30. "Martyrs of the Third Millennium" airs at 2:30pm on 1150AM.
They will also be giving a talk for the public on Sunday, May 31 at 7:30pm. The talk will take place in the main church area of St. Pius X in Urbandale. At the end of the talk, they will be showing a 3 minute preview of the "Souly Walking Documentary."
