book1182 said:Great story!!! I got lucky one day and we had a B-17 at Lunken Airport giving rides. Usually the day before they start doing paid rides they do some PR work for the newspapers and TV news. My boss had always told me that he would get a free ride whenever he wanted but he hated flying so he always turned them down. Long story short. I got to go on a free ride. It's been my only ride in a World War 2 aircraft and one that I will never forget.
