Flights in a B-17 or B-24 are available...

While talking with our folks in operations about a project that is nearing completion I was asked if i was going to attend the aviation fest at the end of the month. I didn't even know about it! I thought I would post this and see if there is any interest. I may take the day off and fly (not drive ) to Cape May and get on board either aircraft for a chance to ride along.

I wish... Raven II transition time is $500/hr with CFI! I still need 7 hrs to satisfy the insurance company so I can fly solo...

Maybe next year...

I did that down in Hilton Head in January. it was worth every penny of 425 bucks.

Bob are you gonna have any money left to fly that thing once you get the nod? WOW! I'd have thought that if your shelling out the major bucks to buy one of those new Robinson would comp you the transition training. I know guys who jumped up to The Piper Turbines and the PC12s who got comped at Flight Saftey by the broker when the purchased.

Robinson doesn't comp nobody for nothin', Adam

We're doing more training this weekend (last two tries got weathered out), and then a session the following Saturday with the DE who did my RH rating -- at least that's in a R44-I at a mere $435...

Ironically, we're expecting that the R44-II will cost us around $200/hr at least for the first couple of years, but then flight school insurance costs more than ours will.
