Flying Into History For Fathers Day
For all of you ANN readers who are dads, find a way to leave
this page up where your wife and kids can see it, particularly if
you live in the Galveston area (hint, hint). The Lone Star Flight
Museum is currently taking reservations for flight positions in
some of its classic WWII aircraft, including the B-17 Flying
Fortress, B-25 Mitchell, T-6 Texan and the T-41 Mescalero on
Saturday for June 20th. Father's Day gift certificates are also
available.
"Experience the sights, sounds and smells of American aviation
aboard one of our historic aircraft. It's a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fly in an authentic World War II
bomber or trainer and feel the power of these amazing machines,"
said Larry Gregory, President of the Lone Star Flight Museum.
"Today, few airworthy examples remain of these historic aircraft
that defended freedom across the globe. A flight in one of
our airplanes is truly a boarding pass to history."
The B-17 and B-25 are two of the most famous bombers from the
WWII era while the T-6 served as the advanced trainer during the
war. The T-41 is a modified Cessna 172 that served with the
Army from 1967-1979 and can carry up to three passengers. The Lone
Star Flight Museum is the only organization to offer flights in
these four aircraft at one location.
A historic flight experience is the perfect gift for Father's
Day. "If you are looking for a rare and unique gift for the dad who
has everything, a warbird ride is the ticket he will always
remember," says Gregory. Rides are available for Father's Day on
Saturday, June 20th from 9AM-5PM at the museum's facility in
Galveston. Reservations are encouraged.
