I rode in that B-17 about 15 years ago. $250 (as I recall) Louder than hell dogs! Never forget it.

I rode it last year out of Moffet; $450. I was leery of dropping so much on a 20 minute ride but my friends talked me into and I never regretted it. It was noisy and cramped. All I could think about was twentysomething year old kids riding in one them 6-8 hours a day 2-3 times a week over Germany while getting shot at. Gives you a small understanding oh what great men they were.

Here's San Jose from the port 50.
