The B-25J "Panchito" is a great warbird ride.

http://www.delawareaviationmuseum.org/d ... rides.html

The owner/operator is Larry Kelley. If you haven't met Larry, and you are into warbirds, you should meet him. The first and most impressive thing about him is how hard he works on his own airplane. Larry is often the first guy into the hangar, and the last one out. He has more sweat and real blood in that airplane than most owners. The second thing is that Larry is a very sharp historian who can tell you the incredible story of the 41st Bomb Group. Last thing is the group of people surrounding this aircraft are very wonderful people who will ensure you have a great time.

The aircraft attends many air shows, mostly on the East Coast. Additionally, if you meet the qualifications, you can take the Second-in-Command (SIC) course to learn how to fly a B-25 as a non-type rated pilot from right seat.

Full disclosure, in case you can't tell; I am a friend of Larry, his wife Lori, and Paul Nuwer, the chief pilot of Panchito. But objectively speaking, I can't say enough good about how they run their program.

Thanks everyone. I'll get started on putting these together in a list.
Web addresses, where known, are helpful. Thanks!

At one point, the CAF was putting together a ride page for all its wings. I know that kinda got "shot down" when some wings decided to be non-cooperative, but does anyone know if the vestiges of that are still around somewhere? Just about every CAF wing has at least one plane on the rides program, so that's a lot of websites to track down otherwise.

Is there still a Tiger Moth out of Christchurch giving rides? I saw it many times doing spins over the water years back.
