Good for you, awesome flight! The CAF was offering rides like that, and I was mighty tempted. I should have done it, but I spent the dough at the gun show, instead. Wish my Uncle had been there, he was a B-17 pilot and not going up would not have been forbidden.

May not get another chance and am glad I did.

The next day I went back just to watch and hang around a little.

That morning was hazy until about 11. It finally cleared and the first crowd got on board. One guy had been trying to catch it for years and finally got his chance.

The engines started and a few minutes later were cut. A booster pump failed and all flights cancelled.

I think it made it out the next day.
