In conjunction with the 2007 Chesterfield Regional Air Show, pilot Keith Mottas will be providing rides in the restored 1945 B-25 Mitchell bomber, "Panchito," from Thursday, Oct. 18, through Sunday, Oct. 21. Five people at a time will be able to see Chesterfield County from the air from this amazing aircraft.
Proceeds from the flight will benefit the nonprofit Delaware Aviation Museum Foundation and are tax deductible. Tickets range from $350-$400, depending on the seat. The three seats in the forward section, including the jump seat directly behind the pilots, will provide an unbelievable view of the skies above and the countryside below. Additionally, front passengers will be able to climb into the bombardier's compartment in the nose of the plane to take pictures through the glass. Two seats in the rear of the aircraft will provide access to the waist gunner compartment.
For more information, flight times, or to reserve a seat, please call (443) 458-8926

I knew that they were working towards that goal, but it's nice to see that they have achieved it.
