Restored B-17 flies into Mountain Home airport for 3-days of rides and tours
A restored WWII B-17 bomber, "Sentimental Journey," flew into the Mountain Home Municipal Airport Friday, offering rides and tours of the historic aircraft.
The plane will be on display at the airport through July 12. This Saturday and Sunday, tours of the plane ($5) will be available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Rides also are offered at a cost of $425, with all proceeds going to maintenance of the plane.
Flown by the Commemorative Air Force, a non-profit organization that restores historic aircraft to flying condition, the "Flying Fortress" bomber is one of less than a dozen in the world still flying.
