Most folks have no idea how much it costs to keep these planes flying. They are historical treasures and won't be available forever for flights open to the public. Enjoy them while you can if you have the available dough. I took a ride in a P-51D Mustang over Lake Tahoe back in 1983, and to this day, it is one of the highlights of my life. Back then it was $150, and that was a lot of money at that time. The owner told me that he was just trying to break even with fuel and maintenance costs.

The $12 price of admission will get you a tour through both planes. Well worth it. Veterans are free.
The maintenance on these planes is astronomical. If we don't support them soon there will be none still flying. As it is, the B-24 is the absolute last one still flying on the planet. You just will not believe what these planes are like inside unless you see it. I highly recommend.
