These Folks Were In Town...

During my 22 years as an assistant air Trafficer in the RAF I flew
in as many aircraft as I could including the Lightning and Hunter
but my God I would give anything to get a ride in that!
 
Next year might not come...do it now. I've flown twice, once for free. Would do it again in a heart beat, but now I'm looking for a B-25.

Nice video but I wonder why the prop pitch is backward, optical thingy?

Totally in the illusion created by motion picture cameras. Truth is that to the naked eye these props appear like bare smooth blurs and about the only time you notice them is when the sunlight glints off an edge.

I've seen the Devil Dog around before...but I sure would like to sit where all those 50 cals are sitting cause I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let me sit in the right seat :icon_lol:
 
Just $400??? Oh hell yeah, please take my money!!! :icon_lol:
Would be great to have a flight where just for once I didn't have to put up with the passenger in front of me tilting their seat back so their head is right in front of my face. One more flight in a P2V Neptune has been on my "bucket list" for years but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do that. B-17 would be a good substitute... or that "Devil Dog" B-25.
 
AWESOME Seats in these old birds.....
B17, B25, B24. Nose or cockpit....
Takeoff and landing Tail in the B25,nose ok...But nothing like seeing the ground get closer and closer to you.....
In flight the top turret....
 
Definitely worth the 399.95. Where else can you do this in an airplane? This is (was) Liberty Bell, when she stopped by St. Louis in 2008.
