Title: Should I blow $350.00?
Post by Miklos on Oct 17^th, 2003, 1:02pm

For $350.00 I can get a thirty minute ride in the WWII airplane below. For sentimental reasons, I would like to because it is the bomber my Dad flew. Practically, I cannot really justify it. Wife says it's one chance in a lifetime. Maybe they will let me sit in the nose?

For $2.00 I can climb on board while it is not being flown.

Cavanaugh Flight Museum's 10th Anniversery in Addison, TX on Saturday and Sunday.

Maybe I'll have a few beers to help make the decision.

Dude, this is a no brainer.
You only live ONCE! In our lifetimes we have "What I've done." or "what I could have done." If you don't do this, you will always imagine what it would have been like, and what it means to you.
Do it man! Live life to the fullest extent while you can. You never know when the CH demon might rob you of 'what could have been."

Just do it!

Gotta go with the crowd on this one. Like they say ... 350.00 for the ride, but the smiles you give yourself for years to come, and the stories you can tell your grandkids ...... just priceless.

Of course you should go.....no question about it.

Go for it. I'm all for doing things for the FIRST time. You may never get a SECOND chance. It's only money - hell, when I was younger, I could steal enough milk bottles to pay for that (oops, that is, I HEARD of kids doing that....)..

YES,YES,YES!!!

My friend went on the flight on
a B-17 this summer.
The " Aluminum Overcast ".

He said it was the best, most
thrilling experience of his life.
Cost him about $400.
He said he would have spent
ten times that much to do
it again.

The plane in your pic is called
the " Diamond Lil' ".
It is a B-24 Liberator.

"She" (Diamond Lil') was here
also when the B-17 was here
for flights.

GO!. You won't regret it. ;)

Here is a pic of Diamond Lil'
& a few of Aluminum Overcast.
*Pictures I took while at the
airport when both planes
were here this summer. ;D

Enjoy.

Money is to be used, not spent.

If using it for a once in a lifetime experience, LIVE BIG!
