Departing MFR earlier today on a flight with members of the media. Think I'll head out Friday or Saturday when it's supposed to be sunny, may even pay for a flight on it.

Beauty. My favorite WWII bomber. I'd give someone else's kidney for a ride in one.

They recently had this one here (external link), doing flights. Someone said it was worth every penny.
