Paid a little more than that for a B-17 ride, but I got 20 minutes and got to visit every station except the tail gun. In flight. ;D

My favorite was the radio operator's compartment- the hatch was off, so I could stick my head out into the 150-kt slipstream.  ;D

And look back at the tail of a B-17 in flight.  :o

Definitely fun, and worth it if you love these planes and respect their history.

Not that I'm trying to talk you into anything... it's your money... ;)

Have a look at this while you mull it over; I'm sure there are also plenty of similar videos of B25s out there. ;)
