Carter ----Original Message Follows---- From: "EAA AirVenture Museum" To: < airventuremuseum@eaamail.org> Subject: EAA's B-17 Keep It Flying Tour will be coming soon to a town near you Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:29:24 -0500 www.b17.org In case you haven't heard, EAA's "Keep It Flying" B-17 Tour will be coming to a town near you 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." Tour Stops September 28 - 30 Lafayette, IN Purdue University Airport October 2-3 Asheville, NC Asheville Regional Airport October 5-7 Charlotte, NC Concord Regional Airport October 9-10 Greenville, SC Greenville Downtown Airport 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 You can learn more about the flight experience, history and operation of our B-17 at www.b17.org Pre-booked flights cost $359 for EAA Members, and $399 for non-Members.
