B-17 and B-24 due to JAX Area

[Star Alliance]

Attention to those in the North Florida area:
On January 22nd-24th, the B-17 Flying Fortress called "Nine-O-Nine" and a B-24 Liberator will be in Keystone Heights Airport, in Clay County, FL (about 1:30 south of the Jacksonville Metro Area in southern Clay County). It would be worth the trip, as the B-17 is one of only nine in flying condition in the USA and the B-24 is the only fully restored example in the world.
Viewing hours will be:
Jan 22: 2 pm- 5 pm
Jan 23: 9 am- 5 pm
Jan 24: 9 am- noon
It's got a 'suggestion donation' of $10 per person, and for those looking to lighten their pocketbooks substantially, you can get a flight in one of these classic aircraft for $425.
Hope to see some of you guys there!

Those are the two Collins Foundation birds - definitely worth checking them out. They stopped in at FRG last Labor Day weekend:

The inside tours are definitely worth the price. I have a cockpit shot of one that came to Indiana a few months ago, definitely too good of a chance to pass up.
