There will be a full weekend event held in Savannah Feb. 27, 28 and March 1 so you can relive the day of a B-17 Bomber! They provide an exclusive B-17 flight simulator, guest speakers and all meals at the Mighty 8th Museum in Savannah, then topped off with a one hour ride in the Liberty Bell B-17! Check it out: World War II Adventure This is a great event for vetern to show their family what they went through or for anyone who wants an experiance of a lifetime. And for $1941 you get a full weekend of fun. History will come alive! What a great gift for your grandfathers and fathers this christmas! |

| Wow, makes me wish I had a spare $1941 in the bank account. Well I guess I have between now and February to win the lottery.

| The Collings foundation rides in the B17, B24 and B25 cost far less than that.

| Very expensive, but it still sounds like a cool weekend. Plus, the Collins ride is about 30-40 minutes, at least in Dallas. This ride is an hour long.

| Most of the flights around here are 30 minutes of engine run time, not necessarily wheels-up time. Figure about 10 or 15 of that is taxiing, running up the engines, etc.
