Did somebody say July 8th? g

Aluminum Overcast Tour dates: (ANE) July 6-8

I bought a pack of 10 Raffle Tickets. I'd fill your name in on one of them
if I knew you were going to be in town to enjoy your winnings.

Chapter volunteers (4? 5? 6?) get their names drawn for a ride to the next
stop - St Cloud, MN (which is 43 nm from our airport).

The Denver to Waukesha flight would be a fun ride.
Waukesha is in (SE) Wis., between Madison and Milwaukee.

Last time, the B-17 flew to Duluth from ANE. That's 110 nm. That gang of
lucky volunteers rented a van in Duluth and drove home.

What the heck. If you're here, you're here ....you're #395. Good luck!
"My" contact info is on all of my people's tickets.

The B17 was here last year on its tour. My youngest worked at the booth
selling their stuff so got to ride it from here to Denver. I flew down
and picked him up. He said it was cool but after a half hour it was
time to get out.

That's about the time they entered the German side of the Channel. g

Hey, you're in luck. Rides go about 30 minutes, according to the website.

Q: How long does the flight experience last?
A: Each flight experience lasts approximately 35 minutes, of those 20 - 22
minutes will be in the air.

I've just now got the inside dope - the skinny:

Aluminum Overcast will fly from Denver, back to OSH, for a 10 day rest.
She'll then do the Wis,
Minn, Iowa legs, right before AirVenture.

Our EAA Chapter has been "invited" to OSH for help with maintenance & upkeep
of the B-17. We're lining up volunteers for the work party.

June 18: She departs Denver, for OSH
June 29: She makes a short hop to Waukesha, Wis., from OSH

July 6-8: She'll be at ANE

After spending two sweating days guarding and selling ride tickets, I was
one of the winners to take the ride to the next stop. What a thrill!
