Great idea, Rick. I went up in one and was accompanied by a woman taking her dad along. He had 35 B17 missions in WWII. It's a bit spendy, but I had a moment of sanity and realized that in ten years I would have no idea what I did with the money -- unless I spent it on that flight. Some of the best money I ever spent. I've been a WWII history student for years, and to sit in the bombardier seat and look down was just indescribable.
Check:
EAA's B-17 - Aluminum Overcast
and:
Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress - The Collings Foundation
There are others, but I know these tour.
