B17 & B24 Flights Coming Soon


This group came to Redding and Medford a couple years back with the B-24 and the B-17 so a friend and I bought a ride which was one of those once in a lifetime things that you never will forget. This season they apparently are also bringing along their two-seat Mustang and the Me-262, the first jet fighter ever built.

As you can see the schedule this time seems to be central and southern Cal but with a chance for a P-51 ride or a bombing run in the Liberator it might be worth the drive to Stocton on June 2nd. Of course the $2,200 cost of a half hour in the Mustang and the $3,900 for the simulated bombing mission in the Liberator is not for everyone. But $425 for a short ride in the 24 or 17 I can tell you from experience is well worth it.




PS: If you can't make out some of the info in the picture give me a call and I'll read it off to you from the original postcard.
