In case you haven't heard, EAA's "Keep It Flying" B-17 Tour will be
coming to a town near you <http://www.b17.org/tour/> soon! The tour
brings the beautifully restored B-17 Flying Fortress "Aluminum Overcast"
to a local airport for flight experiences and walk-through tours. Out of
over 12,000 that were built, this aircraft is one of a handful of
airworthy B-17s still flying.
EAA invites you to reserve a seat for a flight aboard this rare WW II
bomber and experience "the ride of a lifetime."
Tour Stops
September 28 - 30
Lafayette, IN
Purdue University Airport October 2-3
Asheville, NC
Asheville Regional Airport
October 5-7
Charlotte, NC
Concord Regional Airport October 9-10
Greenville, SC
Greenville Downtown Airport
Here's what some other people have said about this truly special
opportunity:
"To say it thrilled me beyond belief is an understatement. I,
like the others, was allowed to unbuckle my seat belt and move about the
aircraft, but the waist-gun position was where I spent most of my time.
Partly because the view from that position was so good, but mostly, I
think, because I somehow identified with those young men who manned that
position." - Paul
Thanks for bringing unspeakable joy to a proud old man who, at
77, still remembers the thrill and the awesome responsibility of being
at the controls of a "Flying Fortress." He told us today that the sound
of the engines warming up was "sweeter than a Beethoven symphony." -
Keith
"This was a thrill beyond compare and it brought a tear to my
eye as my mind traveled back those many years. The smell of that exhaust
and the deafening noise brought back the faces of my crew, and I was 22
years old again, and on my way to Bremen. My son was along for this
flight . It has been a life-long dream of his to fly along side his Dad,
on the 'Flying Fortress' and we thoroughly enjoyed our 40 minutes in the
air together!" - Robert

Seems pricey, but given the fact it's an opportunity that won't be around forever, I'd like to do it.

I'll pass on the actual flight but will be there for moral support.

I'm in! I flew on "Aluminum Overcast" when it was in CLT a few years ago.
Money well spent on a ride you'll never forget.
