Airplane Rides at the Fly/In Cruise/In

Bell 206BII Jet Ranger

 

B-17G Flying Fortress

The 19th Annual Fly/In Cruise/In once again featured rides on this Bell 206BII Jet Ranger.  Many experienced the thrill of flight in a helicopter over the Indiana countryside with Michigan based Phoenix Precision Air, LLC.

 

Returning to the 19th Annual Fly/In Cruise/In was the B-17G "Yankee Lady" from the Yankee Air Museum in Belleville, Michigan.  This B-17  was one of 12,731 manufactured. The B-17 Flying Fortress was the largest heavy bomber of it's time before and during much of WWII. Today approximately 50 survive in museums worldwide, and fewer than 12 are maintained to flyable status.
