Links to bomber ride information ~ Which one do you want to go and fly in ?
Just how many bombers are currently airworthy today
? How
many are offering rides ?
We've profiled
details of the aircraft available
with appropriate links to the operators web site pages.
Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
The bomber that became famous
flying with the Mighty 8th Air Force in WW2. A total
of 12,677 B-17's were built for the U.S.A.A.F.
My 2012 survey of flying
B-17's puts the total at just 10 worldwide with SIX of these
currently offering rides in the United States !
Consolidated B-24 Liberator
Built in greater numbers in
the United States than any other bomber, the B-24 Liberator
served in many operational roles in WW2.
Of the 18,188 aircraft built,
just two Liberators are airworthy today. The amazing fact is
..... you can fly in both of them !
North American B-25 Mitchell
Made famous by the Doolittle
raid on Tokyo in 1942, no less than 9,816 B-25 Mitchell's
were built for the U.S.A.A.F.
My B-25 list doesn't include
all of today's surviving airframes ~ I've concentrated on
listing the ones that currently offer rides or on display in
museums.
