The Collings planes come through my area (3 local airports) in Feb each year. I've at the fields for the last 15 years acting as a docent for the B17

That's excellent! While I can read and talk about it, you obviously have a much different perspective on the B-17. I applaud you for being there to answer questions and talk about the airplane.

JHOR, did you ever get a ride in either of the Collings Foundation B17 or B24?

I had my ride in the B17 in 1994 and the B24 in 1995.

No, I was necver invited. I certainly wouldn't pay 400+ for a ride. The govt paid me $225 per month to fly the B17.

Several years ago ALUMINUM OVERCAST came through my area, I was invited to have a ride
About 10+/- years ago I helped clean up a B17 that was brought up from Bolivia. This was done at a local airport. After it became airworthy I was invited to go along while a pilot was being checked out by the owner, While aloft, he invited me to get into the copilots seat, I had the controls for about 10 minutes, that was a thrill.
