A B-17 has been restored for the inflation-adjusted number of dollars ($3.5M) it took to build her in the first place (approximately, according to the calculator I got from thin air next to my desk).
They gussied it up like the Liberty Belle, and you can take a ride in it. For the low-low admission price of $430. Ouch, but how cool is that? Can you imagine the experience of a man who was a nose gunner over Europe a million years and two lifetimes ago, to be able again to look out of that turret and see the world spread out below him? Can you imagine that view yourself?
There's no way in H-E-doubletoothpicks they'll ever make a plane like this again. If I had the money, I'd ride the heck out of it.
