| WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!  I took my trip on 9-0-9 back in 1994. Quite an experience isnt it? Now you must save your money and go on the B24.

| Very jealous! I saw Niine O Nine when she came to North Carolina back in 1994, but I have never flown in her. I will some day however.

| You should Adler, it's an awesome experience. By the way, the guy in the grey hoodie is me, my brother was the one taking the photos. I did get some shots with my camera phone though. I'll have more pictures uploaded later today.

| Very cool. In Dallas, we actually have a choice of B-24's to ride. You can ride WitchCraft with the Collins foundation or ride the Ol 927 at Cavanaugh Flight Museum. Of course, I have haven't rode either one.

| Geedee, sorry, but I kept the ear plugs in for the trip. I still could hear the engines running though. As promised, I'll upload more photos. Sorry if they're too big, I don't have a way to resize them.
