I call dibs on the turret gun seat! I don't know about this plane and flight cost but quite a few years ago they were asking something like $135.00 each for the general public to experience a flight in a classic bomber of this WWII vintage at the Deer Valley air show. I just remember it was beyond my means at the moment and I was real disappointed. They let everybody take a static walk through real cheap and I did do that. God Bless Rosie the riveter and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice
This just brings back so many happy memories for me, cos last year in August 2006 I flew in this aircraft from Portland ME out over the islands in Casco Bay. I was on holiday from the UK and a friend arranged this as a surprise for me. It was magic, unbelievable. Thanks for sharing this video. God Bless you and God Bless those guys who flew these aircraft and others in the war against Fascism. Semper Fi. God Bless America.
Sadly this exact this b-17 crashed and burned in ILL June 2011. Its GONE ~

Well a ride in another B17G, Aluminum Overcast, costs between 350-400$ at EAA Airventure.
