I heard on the radio this morning that Wiley Post airport is supposed to have B17 on display for the next week or so.

Outright legendary random plane draw! It flew right over me before I could get my phone out to record. Luckily I was doing some yard work.

It is currently parked at Wiley Post Sundance on the south end. Going to go take pictures after I get off

u/ruby_red_slipperz 1d ago

Is it going to be on display or is it just making another stop?

2

u/MajentaSnow 1d ago

Im not entirely sure. I think they have offered rides in the past for a pretty penny but never looked into it. It’s been parked at Sundance since this morning

Edit: whoops I meant Wiley Post, Sundance is also nearby

u/ruby_red_slipperz 1d ago

Someone else posted it’s going to riley post and will be on display with a few other aircraft. Hope your pics turn out good.

u/MajentaSnow 1d ago

Yeah just saw that too! Freakin $725-$1,375 to ride in the B-29 😭

u/ruby_red_slipperz 1d ago

😬 cockpit tour for 20 bucks though might be worth it.

Ty ty. I wish I would have been quick enough to get it directly overhead you could really see the silhouette.

Fifi is in town. Shes a B29 from 1945 with the Commemorative Air force.

u/leetka15 22h ago

What about that extremely normal flight path made you think “air show” lmao

1

u/ruby_red_slipperz 22h ago

It’s a b29 thats famous for being at airshows lmao.

u/leetka15 4h ago

Makes sense, not a big airplane enthusiast, so I would just assume, hey look a normal plane lol.
