Post by: SmokinLoon on March 27, 2011, 07:00:54 PM: I highly suggest you go for a ride in one at the first chance you get. It is worth every penny you spend. I paid $340 for a 30 minute ride back 2005, I felt no remorse knowing that each and every penny I spent went to preserving "Sentimental Journey" of the CAF.

Post by: Seraphim on March 27, 2011, 07:27:28 PM: They usually have one fly in to Burbank once or twice a year, my wife said she heard it yesterday while I was at the gun show, but didn't realize what it was. I heard it once, this was the second flyover, after I got my camera ready & ran outside.
Nine O' Nine is usually the one flying over the valley, though.

:aok

Post by: Tupac on March 27, 2011, 09:22:59 PM: I'm trying to convince my parents I need a ride, but if they say no I'm gonna go to my fallback plan.

Offer to buy the pilot an hour in a 172 in exchange for a 30 minute ride in a B17.

Honestly I'm getting the short end of the stick.
