One of the B-17's that was in the movie Memphis Belle is in San Diego at
Gillipie Field in El Cajon. They will be giving rides this Sat/Sun for $450.00 Phone number to book 918-340-0243. I missed a chance at this around 10 years ago, been kicking myself about that ever since. I'm booked on the Sunday 10:30 flight, woo hoo.

Join the EAA and hitch a ride in their B-17 aka Aluminum Overcast. IIRC, it's about 275. Don, take some ear plugs. Those 4 P&W's are (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) loud.
