Have you ever flown on B-17 Bomber? Want to? Next weekend, you'll have a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fly in an authentic World War II B-17 bomber.
Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is offering historic flight experiences
in its beautifully restored B-17G Flying Fortress "Aluminum Overcast." Take a
trip back in time and feel the might of this magnificent flying machine, just as
those young men did more than 50 years ago. You can experience a flight, or
simply take a walk-through tour.
Out of over 12,000 bombers that were built, this aircraft is one of handful of
airworthy B-17s still flying. The EAA invites you to reserve a seat for a
flight aboard this rare WWII bomber and experience "the ride of a lifetime."
