VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Ground Tour Sales: A minimum of two volunteers are required for the Merchandise & Ground Tour sales trailer. The Merchandise Sales Trailer should be manned & operational when the first flight of the day departs the ramp. Sales of Ground Tour admission stickers can commence anytime after the aircraft concludes flight activities for the day. The Merchandise Trailer is also used to display and sell B-17 specific merchandise. These items include Golf shirts, T-shirts, hats, patches, pins videos and more. As people come off the aircraft, they are routinely interested in looking for souvenir items to purchase.
Ground Tour Guides: Once ground tours of the B-17 commence, one volunteer is located at the nose of the air
