http://www.pratttribune.com/topstories/ ... r-aircraft The event will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17 and will feature two World War II vintage trainers furnished from the CAF Jayhawk Wing out of Wichita, said Reid Bell, Pratt Regional Airport Manager. Col. Chuck Chauncey, a WWII B-29 pilot that flew over 20 missions over Japan, is expected to be in attendance to answer questions about flying the B-29. Aircraft rides will be available at the event. The CAF is bringing A T 50 Bobcat trainer and a PT 23 Primary Trainer to the event. Rides are available in both aircraft. Rides in the PT 23 are $100 and rides in the T 50 Bobcat Trainer are $225. The T 50 can hold three passengers so the $225 can be split three ways, said John Bartholomew, Vietnam veteran and CAF recruiting officer. |
