Hello Friends and family
You all know that we volunteer with the Commemorative Air Force and the B-17 Texas Raiders. Well, it’s spring, and the Flying Fortress is ready to return to the skies for her 2014 flying season. We lift off on Saturday March 15 at Hooks Airport! Come over to the airport for tours of the airplane in the morning and flights in the afternoon. You can walk through the aircraft and talk to the crew, and see her fly as well. If you want the ultimate Flight Experience, there are seats available for flights starting at 1:00 in the afternoon. The forecast for that Saturday is sunny and 71 – a perfect day to join us! Come out to the Tomball Jet Center (one mile south of FM2920 on Boudreaux Road in Spring) on the 15th -- we hope to see you there!
PS: If you want to reserve a flight, call our Ride Coordinator at 1-855-FLY-A-B17. Seats start at $475 for a 30 minute flight on the iconic bomber. Looking for a gift for an aviation enthusiast? We do gift certificates too!
