We had the amazing opportunity to take a flying tour of this beautiful Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress.
We were given this opportunity by Adam Drain from the Liberty Foundation. The Liberty Foundation is committed to preserving these amazing aircrafts and sharing their stories with the public.
Each member is a volunteer who donates their time just so they can inspire and educate people about these wonderful pieces of history.
Running a machine like this one is not a cheap endeavor. To fly this plane for an hour costs around $4,500! On top of that the Liberty Foundation functions solely on donations.
If you would like to get involved, donate, or even become a member, please visit their website at: www.libertyfoundation.org. Also, all contributions are tax deductible!
We were absolutely blown away by this experience. If you ever get the opportunity to see this in person, or catch a ride, we HIGHLY recommend it.
Enjoy the screenshots below!
Please take the time to support the Liberty Foundation any way you can. These types of experiences would not exist without them.
One thousand thank yous to Adam and the whole crew for this once in a lifetime opportunity!

I'll have to agree with Flying Cirkus though: some more onboard footage would be nice. Especially missing some shots that capture the atmosphere in the plane. (Instead of all shots with music and narration).
Perhaps upload some raw "bonus content" on the Gremlin channel? ;)
Either way, love the show and keep up the good work :)

I must admit I was quite dissapointed not to hear the engine sound of the plane even once in the film. I have to join the club and ask for some more atmosphere from onboard the plane.
No doubt you guys were having an amazing time on board - that clearly shows in the pictures. But please give us the sound from those lovely radial engines instead of voice-over and music.
