In case you haven't heard, EAA's "Keep It Flying" B-17 Tour will be
coming to a town near you <http://www.b17.org/tour/> soon! The tour
brings the beautifully restored B-17 Flying Fortress "Aluminum Overcast"
to a local airport for flight experiences and walk-through tours. Out of
over 12,000 that were built, this aircraft is one of a handful of
airworthy B-17s still flying.
EAA invites you to reserve a seat for a flight aboard this rare WW II
bomber and experience "the ride of a lifetime."

Here's what some other people have said about this truly special
opportunity:
"To say it thrilled me beyond belief is an understatement. I,
like the others, was allowed to unbuckle my seat belt and move about the
aircraft, but the waist-gun position was where I spent most of my time.
Partly because the view from that position was so good, but mostly, I
think, because I somehow identified with those young men who manned that
position." - Paul
Thanks for bringing unspeakable joy to a proud old man who, at
77, still remembers the thrill and the awesome responsibility of being
at the controls of a "Flying Fortress." He told us today that the sound
of the engines warming up was "sweeter than a Beethoven symphony." -
Keith
"This was a thrill beyond compare and it brought a tear to my
eye as my mind traveled back those many years. The smell of that exhaust
and the deafening noise brought back the faces of my crew, and I was 22
years old again, and on my way to Bremen. My son was along for this
flight . It has been a life-long dream of his to fly along side his Dad,
on the 'Flying Fortress' and we thoroughly enjoyed our 40 minutes in the
air together!" - Robert

Seems pricey, but given the fact it's an opportunity that won't be around
forever, I'd like to do it.
