From the folks at the Commemorative Air Force (Addison-based B-29/B-24 Squadron) comes word that they'll be flying Ol' 927 (the B-24 Liberator on which yours truly was privileged to hitch a ride a few weeks back) this Father's Day weekend.

Here's your chance to hop aboard for a half-hour flight on on a real WWII warbird* - one of only two B-24s still airworthy today.

You can book your 30 minutes of glory (at a tax-deductible cost of $450) by navigating your Norden bombsight here. Squadron Tour Director Toni Schmid Stevenson will take good care of you.

All flights originate from Addison's Cavanaugh Flight Museum, which is well worth a visit in its own right.

*In case someone takes me to task for that "warbird" designator, this specific Liberator never saw battle action, but was used as a transport and airframe test bed during the war years.

This is a great idea and would be fun for all the Father's out there. That is one big noisy airplane! Used to hear them flying over Addison all the time.
