Even more special is her appearance at Warbird in Review at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 22. This isn’t just a presentation—it’s a rare opportunity to hear Jane VI’s story told by those directly connected to her past and present.

Remember & Honor - Memorial Day 2026
For over 20 years, Ron Fagen and Evan Fagen have taken to the skies above local Memorial Day services and cemeteries, paying tribute to the American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. These flyovers are quiet acts of remembrance—honoring the courage, commitment, and lives of those who protected our freedoms.
Memorial Day is more than gatherings and barbecues—it is a day to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice that make our country possible. At Fagen Fighters WWII Museum, we remain steadfast in our dedication to patriotism and preservation, honoring those who gave everything.
The museum will be open to the public on Monday, May 25th, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. We invite you to step back in time, surrounded by powerful military artifacts that tell the stories of bravery and sacrifice. Tour the museum at your own pace and take a moment to reflect on Memorial Day and its true meaning, honoring those who served our nation. Weather permitting, our pilots will conduct flyovers during local cemetery programs. May we strive to be a people—and a generation—that never forgets the profound cost of freedom, paid by so many.
“Freedom is never free.”
We owe everything to those who served, and through remembrance, preservation, and tribute, we ensure their legacy endures.
Food Truck: Scotty Biggs BBQ & Coffee Blender Co.
