Fly in a Piece of American History!
Ninety eight hundred North American B-25 bombers were manufactured during World War II. The B-25s are best remembered for Doolittle's Raid - the long range forays into Tokyo under the command of Lt.Col. James H. Doolittle. These machines were integral to the success of the United States war effort.
Amazingly, there are only about ten of these magnificent planes still flying.
How long will they still be flying?
How many chances will you have to actually fly in one?
Come with us and step back in time. Sit in the same seats that our heroes of 60 years ago who flew in these planes sat in.
Keeping up with the restoration and cost of flying this plane is part of the challenge our non-profit organization faces. To offset the costs, we're offering a unique opportunity to just a dozen or so lucky aviation enthusiasts at each of our venues to share the experience and the expense of flying the Pacific Prowler.
Proceeds go to the
John L. Terry
Heritage Foundation,
the 501(c)(3) non-profit,
educational foundation that keeps this magnificent piece of American History flying.

About the Pacific Prowler Flight Experience...
Your ride experience will last about one hour - we will introduce you to the aircraft's history, give you a brief tour, a safety briefing, and then we will all board the Prowler for an approx. 20-25 minute flight. During the flight, you will have the opportunity to move about the plane, experiencing the views from nose to tail and everywhere in-between!
cost: $375 donation
