That beautiful aircraft flies overhead occasionally. You can hear those four Merlins humming from miles away, and I never miss an opportunity to watch her pass. You can get a flight on her from the Warplane museum, but by the time you get your membership and pay for the flight, it's rather pricey. I'm more likely to take a ride in their Boeing Stearman this summer, which all in comes to something like $375 for the ride.
Certainly not knocking the cost of any flight on these aircraft, the museum had to get those Merlins rebuilt, and it was astronomically expensive, not to mention the cost of filling that 2,400 gallon fuel tank! I'm just glad the aircraft was saved and returned to airworthy condition.
