High dollars but high cost just in fuel to get it off the ground. What an experience it would be to take a flight and get to walk around it in fight. Great it is still flying. We lost one of the flying museums not to long ago. Do not remember which on it was but went down all wrong and in flames.

Man, it would be SO tempting to pay the $465! Just to experience the sensation of flying in a 4 engine, oily, breezy, vibrating WWII bomber would be incredible. I'm anxious to see your pics of her.
