Beautiful clear quiet sunny morning, we got into the B-17 at 9:15 AM for a 25 minute flight. All passengers were very excited about the flight, and the B-17 crew were very professional about all of the safety scenarios involved with the flight . Having been in a B-17 before, the EAA Aluminum Overcast, I was kind of comparing the 2 separate flights . We bought seats today for the back, but were not allowed access thru the bomb bay/catwalk to the front. The people who paid the big money for the nose position, had to stay there also. On the other hand , Aluminum Overcast offered full access to all positions including the left seat in the cockpit. Not one to complain, a huge thrill again.
