Anyone want to crew on the B-17 & B-24 Next year?

... then bid!

It's a guaranteed slot for a week on the bombers... winners choice of locations to start at. Imagine flying the Rocky Mountains or the Pacific Coast. Maybe even a jaunt in Florida when the cold winds blow here in the Northeast! Maybe one of our friends from overseas would like to spend a jolly holiday aboard!

And the final bid price goes to the maintenance and upkeep of the bombers... a good cause!

Hmmm,

It sounds like the deal ive got too.
I work on airplanes all week, and then sometimes on the weekend.
When I'm offered a ride, I either cant or it costs me.

Pardon me if I'm thinking about this in the wrong way... but I would feel honored to win this auction. To be a part of keeping this history and the memories of those who served and died for us alive. I know many of you have had rides or pilot these amazing machines, so maybe thats why it seems to not be such a big deal. Maybe the fact that I havent had the chance to fly in one is the reason I'm adamant about this post. I don't mean to lash out at anyone, just wanted to shed some light on another viewpoint. I only wish I had the money to bid!

I'd jump at the chance to do this, if I had the money. I got the chance to help out with thier B-25 Tondeleyo at Geneseo and though she didn't fly the chance to crawl around inside a B-25 was well worth it.
