Rob - When you check in for your ride, ask for Anne Marie. She is one of the Tour Managers for the B-17 and also my racing partner. She is expecting you so please identify yourself.

Have a fun and safe flight!

Julieann

PS - Take lots of pictures!

Tom - the B-17 has already arrived at VNY. It will fly on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

To get to the B-17, the entrance is off of Woodley across from the Fly Away. It will be at the Syncro hangar.


Have fun!

Julieann

Rob - Great to hear you will be taking a ride!

Tom - I'll get more information and post it for y'all.

Since the weather is bad, I suspect it won't be up and about until later in the week.

You will definitely hear it over head!
