Me and my wife bought a ride on a B17 a few years ago.

The Confederate Air Force used to have paratroops and Field Marshal Montgomery became a member in I think, 1957 (I used to have a newspaper clipping).

I took my son up in one a few years back. There was little in the way of safety. A month later the same B-17 crashed in Hartford and killed everyone aboard. I’m a pilot and I own a 1943 T-6 SNJ… I think they should find another way to raise money besides selling seats. There were undoubtedly passengers on the B-17.

Tragic. Prayers up for all involved.
