In early March 2020, I had made reservations to fly on a B-29 out of New Hampshire, and had scored the cockpit Flight Observer seat, but got this email a few weeks later:

Due to the still-developing situation with regard to COVID-19, our country is being forced into completely new territory. To do our part to help prevent the spread, we will be delaying the start of the 2020 tour season. The planned kickoff event, the Arsenal of Democracy Flyover in Washington DC, has been rescheduled for September. All other tour stops through June have been indefinitely postponed. Your pre-sold ride flight is therefore cancelled and will be fully refunded. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to be processed. We appreciate your support and understanding during this time. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Another reason I am furious at this entire COVID scam.

Wow that was a pricey seat if I recall. Did you get another shot afterwards?

A SNAFU that happened after we boarded but was actually quite enjoyable was that one of the Fighters that was taking part in the air show at Republic that day had some kind of engine malfunction on landing and had to use an arresting wire to get down. This resulted in a very pleasant and informative extra half hour aboard talking with the crew while the airport cleaned up the runway.
