They'll be at a event at Owens Field in Columbia this weekend to raise
money for Camp Kemo.Â* There are only 15 B-17's left in airworthy
condition, and it'll be amazing to get a ride in one.



There is another group ... the Collins Foundation ... that tours the USA
with a B-17, a B-24, a B-25 and a Mustang P-51.Â* They were just at the
little municipal airport near where I live last month.

The rides in the B-17 and B-24 are fairly reasonable because they can
carry several passengers who share the operating cost.Â* But the one I
wanted a ride in was the P-51 Mustang but not enough for the $2,800 cost
for half an hour.
