As the B-17 Flying Fortress sailed above Wakefield’s main street, the pilot banked a wing of the World War II-era plane to avoid the water tower at the top of the hill, across from the schoolhouse. A few minutes later, the plane returned, this time headed down main street in the opposite direction before leaving Wakefield to follow the Republican River west and eventually back home, to Schilling Air Force Base in Salina, 50 miles away.
