proximately 2:00 PM starting on Friday. The B-17 is generally open for Ground Tours from 2:00 PM till 6:00 PM. It is possible that an increased demand for flights, weather, or maintenance issues might delay the opening. Please keep in mind that flying takes priority. If we have a high demand for flights or flights to make-up, it might be necessary to cancel ground tours for a certain day. Also, keep in mind that the chapter is responsible for Ground Tours and Merchandise sales. As long as conditions permit, if the chapter elects to remain open past 6:00 PM to satisfy customer needs, they may do so.
Admission Charges for Ground Tours:
· $6.00 per person (18 years old and up)
· $10.00 per family (adults/children 8 to 17 years of age)
· $5.00 per student
· $3.00 per person Adult groups (ten or more) High School & older
· $1.00 per person Grade School groups, (ten or more), can be arranged ahead of time by calling the Outreach Tour Coordinator.

They are allowed to move around during the flight. The only restricted areas are the tail gunners area, ball turret and pilot and co-pilot seats. The nose area is restricted during take-off and landing. Once airborne, the nose is the best seat in the house. We ask however, that everyone be courteous and give all "Flight Experience" participants equal time in the nose area. There is room for two to three people in the nose at a time.
Static Displays: Bob Thayer is the contact with Carolinas Historic Aviation Commission. We also need folks to contact warbird owners in the area. Hopefully a P-51, AT-6 trainers, etc. can be parked on the ramp to augment the B-17.
