Description:
The only things that have changed on this B-25 Bomber are modern avionics in the cockpit and no live ammunition in the 50 caliber machine guns!

On your arrival you will be briefed by the staff on how to board the airplane, emergency procedures and what to expect during the flight. No question is too small to ask the staff.

The pilots will be happy to tell you all about the airplane, its flying characteristics, and what makes the B-25 such a phenomenal airplane.

To fly the B-25 your experienced pilot is required to have hundreds of hours of flying experience and many more hours getting certified to fly this particular airplane.

To climb up the ladder into the plane is to follow in the footsteps of WWII hero Jimmy Doolittle and his Raiders made famous by the movie, "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo."

Passengers who ride in the back of the plane can try out the 50 caliber waist gunner positions as well as climb into the tail gunner's position for a 280 degree view of the countryside.

Passengers in the front of the plane can watch the pilots from the navigator's seat and, if you are spry, you can crawl up to the bombardier's position for a spectacular view and look through the crosshairs of the famous Norden bombsight that was top secret during the war.

Be sure and get your picture taken so you can show off to your buddies that you are an official history rider!
