You should be able to get inside one of the B-17s. It is a bargin at $5.00. Over the years I have been inside just every type flying stateside except the
A-20. If the Bell does not have tours one of the others will. The CAF's B-24 was open last year when it was in Houston. I think the Thunderbird will be there again this year and they have tours. I hope you get to go.

Is it an F model or a G made up like an F? Either way it is a good looking plane. There are normaly several reinactors in 8th AF uniforms hanging around it in the mornings. It makes for nice pictures. Have you made it inside of FiFi? I was surprised how large it is.

Ive seen her a few times from the outside but never on the inside. The one year I was going to was the year that she ended up being grounded and has not flown since. Some day I will get inside her.

I wish the Wings over Houston would get creative and bring in several P40s, P51s, anything. The show is stale and they rarely bring in anything new. I am trying to go a trip every other year.

I would love to come. I think I will put it on my calendar. I will need info like is it really crowded, and when is the best time to show up, parking?, etc. Saturday would be the day I could attend. I would feel honored to meet any of the forum guys.
