The grass field in front of the museum will be open to parking but will not have handicapped spaces and will not be open to motorcycles, large buses and coaches, which must park on the paved lot.
Security personnel will screen visitors and backpacks, coolers, alcohol, weapons and bags larger than a backpack will not be allowed, organizers said.
Thousands of people are expected to throng to three days of public ceremonies and events, including World War II B-17 bombers, P-51 Mustang fighters, and training planes arriving on the museum’s airstrip as more than 160 re-enactors replaying the World War II era.
The Memphis Belle was the first American heavy bomber to complete 25 missions over Europe and return to the United States.
The plane arrived at the museum in 2005 and has been under restoration since.
