Location: Museum of Flight ramp, Boeing Field (King County Airport)
The Experimental Aircraft Association is offering historic flight experiences in the beautifully restored B-17G Flying Fortress “Aluminum Overcast.” One of only 14 Fortress’s still flying, this aircraft is an icon of the Allied strategic bombing effort that helped turn the tide of battle in World War II. Unlike reading a history book, you can actually fly a mission back in time and feel the might of this magnificent machine, just as those brave young men did many years ago.
