PRESS RELEASE
Experience a multi-sensory and immersive adventure by taking a ride on a WWII B-17 Bomber this Saturday, September 23rd at the Air Zoo located on 6151 Portage Road in Portage, MI just south of the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek Airport. This will be the last opportunity this year for those in the Kalamazoo area to take a ride on the iconic WWII aircraft. With only three flying B-17s in North America, this opportunity is truly a rare chance to experience history in flight. The B-17 Flying Fortress was a heavy four-engine bomber in the US Army Air Force during WWII and was noted for its dangerous daylight missions over Germany.
The flight is a 30-minute experience and costs $525.00 per person. Once airborne, passengers are able to move to other positions in the aircraft including the nose, flight deck, bomb bay, radio room, and waist gunnery section. Celebrate flight with this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Rides occur from 10:00 am until 12:00 pm and you can reserve a seat by ordering online at https://yankeeairmuseum.org/fly/#b17 or walk up to see if any seats are available.
