Warbird Rides
Douglas C-47 “Skytrain” Rides
The Douglas C-47 is the is the military derivative of the DC-3 passenger plane. The Great Lakes Wing of the CAF will be giving the patrons of the Indianapolis Air Show the opportunity to fly in an aircraft that has become a legend in its own time. The DC-3/C-47 is the transport aircraft that all that have followed it are judged by. The reason that these venerable and versatile airplanes have flown for such a long time is that the original construction was very robust. The cost for a ride is $95 and to reserve a flight in advance you can email Bob Bos or call 847-494-2968.
Consolidated B-24A “Liberator” Rides
Last year in 2007 was the first year that the Indianapolis Air Show had in attendance the world’s only flying B-24A. This year the B-24A will be attending the show and again, as in 2007 will be giving rides on this extremely rare aircraft. Not only is it the only A model B-24 flying, but it is only one of two B-24s that still fly in the world. The cost per flight is $450 per person and the trips are normally given before or after the air show. If interested in a ride, call 432-413-4100 leave a phone number.

Only a handful of Flying Fortress’s still fly, so do not miss the opportunity to take a flight around central Indiana in this rare warbird.
