$355 B-17 Flight Experience - Current EAA Member
Here is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to fly in an authentic World War II B-17 bomber. EAA is offering historic flight experiences in the beautiful B-17G Flying Fortress "Fuddy Duddy." 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.
IIRC, you get to sit in the right seat for a few minutes. I never took the ride.

B-17 Flights - 30 Min. experience - $400 donation per person
(min 6 passengers / max 9 passengers)
Imagine yourself soaring onboard the flagships of the USAAF Strategic Bombing fleet of WWII. Take your position in the crew and experience a taste of what it may have been like in WWII. Sit as bombardier, stand as waist gunner, monitor flight activity as a flight engineer would as you observe the pilots flying the mighty bombers. You can wander through the plane as you like.
Again, no mention of being able to legally log some stick time.
Wonder why that is?
