    The current operating cost for flying a B-17 is $4000 an hour. It costs a customer $425 for a half hour's flying experience. Here's a link to the Collings Foundation.

    The experience is cheap however the return airfare from Australia isn't!

    sounds interesting but it is costly to get there from the UK

    I'd rather go to Canada and fork out £2500 (last time I looked) to fly in Mynarskis Lanc than a B17 :D

    I flew on the B17 in 1994. One hour was for $400.

    It was a great experience though! The thrill of sitting in the nose looking through the bomb site was something I will never forget.
