B-17 in Muskegon!


Do you want to fly in a WW2 B-17, Flying Fortress?

Everyone in W. Michigan will have that opportunity on Saturday, July 25.

The Yankee Air Museum has offered to visit us with their WW2 B-17 Flying Fortress, Yankee Lady, at Muskegon Airport.

The cost will be about $400 each, depending on how many sign up for a flight.

It's not cheap but well worth it to support Yankee Museum and their efforts to keep our Warbirds flying. Plus it's a once in a lifetime thrill for anyone who has marveled at the bravery of our young World War 2 fliers.

I took a ride last month on their B-25 Mitchell Bomber and it was like nothing I've ever experienced. I still get a thrill when I think of that flight.

Call or E all your friends (and fathers!) and tell them about this once-in-a-life-time opportunity!

We recently flew in their B-25 Mitchell Bomber
(http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/historic-aircraft/67-b-25d.html) from MKG over Lake Michigan, down south of Grand Haven, east to the end of the county, up to White Lake and back over W Muskegon county to the airport.

We will do the same in a B-17!

Please pass the word out to all your friends and their Dads!

E me at GordoMuskegon@aol.com if you are interested!
