A crew from the Tri-State Warbird Musuem in Batavia, Ohio, will fly the World War II-era C-45 Expeditor "Hokie Pokie" over Lane Stadium during the Sept. 9 football game against Delaware, weather permitting.
The aircraft will be on public display from 9 to 11 a.m. Sept. 9 at the Virginia Tech Montgomery Executive Airport on Tech Center Drive in Blacksburg. Anyone interested in welcome to come see the aircraft up close and talk with its crew.
