Memory escapes me, but either a B-17 or 24 stops at New Cumberland, PA every
year or two. I've crawled thru it for 5 or 10$, but should have "ponied-up"
(sp?) 400 for the ride. Have film shots somewhere.

I believe the last time we had B-17 rides available at Owl's Head, it was
considerably more than $400. If that's all it had been, I would have gone. Not
that $400 isn't a lot of money, but it would have been worth it. Especially to
sit in the nose.
