EAA B-17 touring the NE...

Postby beaky » Tue Aug 14, 2007 10:29 am

Go see her and show your ssupport; static tours of the aircraft are $5 (I think), and visitors should also be able to get a good close-up look at her taxiing and taking off/landing.
Also, a little over $400 gets you the ride of a lifetime- if you are contemplating that, call ahead early to book a seat.

Oxford, CT on the 21st/22nd, eh? That might be worth a short trip to see a B-17!

Thanks for the heads up  ;)
