Tampa People... B-17 rides this weekend!
« on: November 06, 2012, 11:50:37 AM »


The movie "Memphis belle" B-17 will be at Vandenburg airport this weekend. Go see it and if you have the money, fly in it. I flew in the "Liberty Belle" 2 months before it burned to the ground in an emergency landing. It was one of the best experiences I've had. If they take the same flight path you will fly from Vandenburg along I4 and buzz the runway at Fantasy of Flight and then return. You will not regret it. I will be there taking pictures of it taking off.
November 10-11    Tampa, FL
Tampa Executive Airport (KVDF)
Leading Edge Aviation FBO
6582 Eureka Springs Road
Tampa, FL 33610

schedule your flight.

B-17 available.

True, but even if only on a bucket list it should be pointed out...
