Country: | Fantastic, Eric! Nothing sounds quite like a pair of R-2600's turning up
at takeoff power, and I can hear them just looking at the photo's! | |

Country: | Thats must of been thrilling! In Arizona the CAF is currently restoring a beautiful B-25 "Maid in the Shade" to my knowlegde it is going to give flights. One thing I have been looking forward to is a ride in "Sentimental Journey" which is a B-17g that is restored to combat status. (no comfortable seats here). Each flight cost around 400 dollars but is definitly worth it.
It would be a helluva experince to have the luck of getting a ride in one of these warbirds while the other is flying next to it. | |

Country: | Yep, it would be something to get an air-to-air shoot with some of the heavies. I have been through Sentimental Journey a number of times, both at the Wing there at Falcon Field and on it's visits to Camarillo. I haven't seen the newer facility at Falcon yet, but have heard it is very nice.
