I've seen the B17 they used in the film at an air show and i've walked through 'Sally B' which was a B17 that actuall y operated in the war but never been up in one.
Got a thing for Vulcan bombers as well.....shame they grounded them.

I am a huge fan of WW2 aircraft both allied and axis....really like the WW1 Fokker tri-plane also. Flying in that B-17 was awesome. The noise of those 4 pratt & whitney engines was unbelievable. We got to go all through the plane during the flight. The top turrent was cool as was the belly turrent. It was sure crampeed in that thing trying to crawl down to the nose of the aircraft. Must of been a bitch trying to get out of one of those when it was going down. To this day I'm kicking myself in the ass. For $500 you could sit in the co-pilot seat and fly the plane for 15 minutes.....I should of spent the extra $200....DAMN!!!! :mad:
