Bucket list stuff rarely comes cheap. I think it would be more expensive to take my wife and kids to Disney for two days. They don't like Disney, I'm sure they will understand.

I'll wait til the B-17 is available. I know they are not cheap to fly, so I'd buy the ticket and take the ride. I can feel the smile hurting my cheeks already.

Did it mention the turret prices, or did I overlook it?

41K for 7 people, two days. No add ons.
That's a gold bucket. But I would bathe in that bucket!

Had been going to the Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot for almost 20 years. Semi auto is fun, full auto is great, belt feed is amazing, belt feed twin 50's on a stationary ball turret from a B17? Now that is awesome stuff
And meeting the love of your life there is icing on the cake! I saw this thread and thought of you two.
I am thinking this would be fun too. Helicopter hog hunting, maybe with machine guns or at night or???

I've posted this before, I sorta have a "thing" for turrets. My gramps when I was really young, had a Crocker-Wheeler top trainer turret that would have been installed in a Beech twin 18 (AT-11). Later Dad got it and mounted it on the well head for the grandkids. At some point I had talked with some of the crew associated with warbirds when there were at Geiger (Spokane) and they went over and bought it from Dad for 500. They stole it. It had only been outdoors for a very few years, and the plexiglas was just like new
