It's that time of year again for the WW2 Fly-In and the schedual is out for Sept 18-20. Great Bend was established as a B-29 Training Base during WW2. I'm trying to get my gang together for the show. Scheduled to appear this year, B-29 FiFi, B-25 Mitchell, A-26, C-47, C-45, three P-51's, F4U Corsair and others. I can't believe the ride along costs this year, the B-29 ranges from $595-1595 and a 30 min ride in the Corsair is only $2495.
I remember way back when if you got there in time when they took the media up upon arrival to the show you could ride for free!
I was offered to ride along on FiFi from Garden City to Louisiana, but I couldn't think how i'd get back.
I kick myself in the butt still on that one.
