A ride in the C-47 "TICO Belle"

Tue Sep 13, 2011 9:04 am

I got the opportunity to go for a 30-40 minute ride in TICO Belle this past Saturday. She belongs to the Valiant Air Command Warbird museum in Titusville FL. Here is a video I made of the ride. Enjoy.

Ha ha. Taco Bell does sound good right about now.

I forgot to mention that around the 1:43 mark in the video, the white building I was zooming in on is the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA. I'll upload some still shots soon too.
