Just passing this on out of Stratford:
The Collings Foundation is returning to Three Wing on September 8 for a three day visit, departing on September 10. The aircraft scheduled to appear are a B-17 Flying Fortress and a B-24 Liberator. If you are interested in enjoying some beautifully restored WW II aircraft, or perhaps flying in one, following is some information:
Rides in each aircraft will be available for $425, which is a tax deductible donation. To reserve a 30 minute Flight Experience slot call Collings direct at 1-800-568-8924.
The aircraft will be open for touring for a donation when not flying.
The aircraft are scheduled to arrive at about 1100 on Tuesday, and will depart Thursday at noon. Please see http://www.collingsfoundation.org/menu.htm for photos and more information.
In addition to the aforementioned rides, there are a limited number of slots available to ride the aircraft into Bridgeport. The tax deductible donation is $400, and the ride will depart from Cape May (153nm @ 211 degrees), so it will certainly be longer than 30 minutes, especially if they decide not to fly overwater. Several pilots are planning to volunteer their aircraft so complimentary rides are available from Bridgeport to Cape May. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in a much longer ride for a few dollars less, please have them call Tim at 203.331.3306 ASAP. Space is very limited.
Please note this is a private foundation and is not a CAP or CTWG sanctioned activity.
