This week the Wings of Freedom Tour is visiting 3 San Diego area airports. The tour features a B-17 Flying Fortress, a B-24 Liberator, and a P-51 Mustang. Tomorrow around lunchtime the planes will fly directly over our office which is beneath the final approach to Carlsbad Airport. Can't wait. This stuff gets me nearly as geeked up as a UofU football game.

The P-51 is my favorite aircraft of all time. A ride in it is $2200 for 30 minutes or $3200 for a full hour. A ride in the B-17 is a little more down to earth in the $300 to $400 range.
