This is what my dad, brothers and i got to ride on. There was also a WWII veteran who was a co-pilot on a B-25 that got to go. Very cool!

Fantastic that you all got to go on it!

 

I flew on the Collings Foundation B-24 a few years ago - what an experience. It gave me an entirely new appreciation for what aircrew experienced and an appreciation for just how vulnerable one was in a bomber.

 

The CAF in St Paul gives rides on their B-25 also - it's one of those things I need to do someday.

 

I would recommend one of these flights to anyone - it has to be experienced first hand to truly have a real appreciation for what it must have been like in WW2.

 

Thanks for posting!

Yeah, it was alot of fun! Not alot of room in those though. It was a tight fit for me to crawl through.

 

Well, that and i probably weigh more than the original crew!
