Is any body involved (flying) with warbirds(WW1/2 era)?
It has always been a dream of mine to do as a side project from flying for the airlines; after I get my multi later this year, one of my goals is to get checked out to fly a B-17, or a B-24. How is this done? . I know that the pilots have to have a multi commercial with a bunch of time (insurance reasons?) Any ideas would be great.

PS. bet that would look awesome on a resume? A few hours on a B-17!j

I joined an organization a couple of months ago that restores war birds. They have a P51, T-6, B-17, and an A-26. I'm basically going to work my way up to fly them. Hopefully all of my donated time and money pays off.

Historical Aircraft Squadron at Fairfield County Airport in Ohio. I haven't been a member that long, so I honestly can't say that much about it. It's non-profit and completely volunteer run.
