    Check their website. I think its tour is going east, it was in Prince Albert last weekend (I had to work.)

    For those interested in warbirds generally, look up the Vimy Flight. That was in 'Toon last weekend and seems to be westbound.
    Today could be the last day of the rest of your life.

    You're probably thinking of the B-24 Liberator...... Similar tail configuration to the B-25 but a heavier 4 engine bomber

    You might be thinking the B24 Liberator. But that is a larger 4 engine bomber vs the B25 which is a mid size 2 engine bomber.

Looks like the B-17 tours the east coast and the B-24 hangs out on the west side. Anyone interested in the schedule of locations and flights should google the CAF. The flight I was on was fully booked as were the 4 flights before ours!
    Hi, I flew the Aluminum Overcast two years ago out of Allentown PA with my son for my BD. First flight in the morning and all the rituals including the nine blade run drill ( for each engine...)

    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.

    I don't think that's the same plane we were in. Is it also part of the CAF? I herd somewhere there were only 10 operational B17s left. Really nice to see these things still flying!
