Long time members here may remember I attended B-17 Crew Camp put on by the Collings Foundation 6 years ago. This is the next thing.

I attended the first collaborative training camp with Arizona Ground Crew Living History Unit and Commemorative Air Force, Utah Wing. 5 day camp at Wendover Historical Air Field. We flew out of the original hanger for Enola Gay.

It was the best time of my life. I flew every day and was instructed on basic flight, as well as aerobatics. Lived in the barracks, got hazed by the NCOs (gently), ate Army food. Another bucket list crossed off.

They are putting it on again, September 2019. Here's the info.

It looks like a lot of fun. I've flown in both of those airplanes (stearman and T6 Texan) and they're both lots of fun.

sns3guppy, I am not sure what your deal is. Arcwelder’s thread is a different thing. That one is a Bomber Camp put on by Collings Foundation, with Taigh Ramey. You might try reading comprehension

Thanks for the insults. Classy.

You mentioned bomber camp, and I included a link to another recent discussion about bomber camp. That's all. Nothing more.

Wow.
