Doing manual labor for free is not something a person would generally sign up for. However, polishing vintage flying war planes would be something to pay for. But you don't have to! You can lovingly wipe down an airplane for free at the Yankee Air Museum Bomber Buffing.
How often do you get to get up and close with remnants from history? Big, loud remnants from history that can do tricks in the air? You get to say you went bomber buffing and get free pizza!
Bring a can of Mothers or Meguiar's Aluminum Polish and plenty of clean soft rags. Wear your Saturday worst; this is a dirty job.
If you become a Member of the Yankee Air Museum you will receive a free cockpit photo in the Yankee Lady B-17.
Saturday, April 6, 2013. 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Free. In Hangar 1 at Willow Run Airport, off Airport Drive in Ypsilanti Township. 734-483-4030
