Now that is cool! B17 will always have a special place my heart since my Dad flew in them and got shot down in them. I must make it down to AZ sometime to fly in that one. Is the going rate stilll around $300 for a ride?

! I'm not sure but I think that's the B17 that's here in Portland this weekend giving rides......for about $300.....I think. Could be wrong though. Very nice pic though, thanks for sharing.

They do the same thing here in Michigan. They fly one out of Willow Run airport. Same price. I would love to take a ride on it. But that bird is way older than I am...

phileaglesfan,
Bad news. The Liberty Belle was just here on Monday, May 12th. I think a 25 minute ride was $430. Think they'll be back next year. It's a beauty in the air.

Cool! I'll probably head up there next year. I would take my Dad but unfortunately he wouldn't remember it the next day. He remembers flying it in 1942 though.

Great picture. My dad flew 34 missions in the B17 "White Lightening" as Bombardier/Navigator so that old ship is special to me too!
