thanks, just added that to favorites.


There is a site where they offer flights on a Mig-17 just like they do in B-25H ^, but seem to find it right now. Will post a link as soon as I do.

Just saw that plane flying last week at the Military Vehicle show at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ (my hometown!). 
Sadly, I've never taken advantage of the opportunity to ride in it yet. . .  :cry

It was on my to do list until the price went up a year or so back.  It may return to the list some day.

Check out any airshow or fly-in with warbirds.  They usually have the same offer going.

Cool. Saw her turning on final when I was at the golf course. I was wondering what a B-25 was doing at Falcon. Can't believe I never heard of this before.

I volunteer in Restoration at Yankee Air Museum, in Ypsilanti, MI.   We have a flying B-25 D35 with combat missions flown.  It is the "oldest" B-25 flying in the World.
