Major Disappointment:
Air Adventures <[email protected] Sat, Apr 15 at 8:17 AM
Hello,
The Yankee Air Museum decided to proactively cease flight operations of the Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress
Yankee Lady. Recent inspections of other B-17Gs have discovered wing spar issues. As a result we expect a mandatory Airworthiness Directive to be issued by the FAA in the next few weeks regarding the matter. Out of an abundance of caution, we are temporarily ceasing our B-17G flight operations and awaiting direction from the FAA regarding necessary inspections and repairs that will be required. It is expected that the B-17G will not fly during the 2023 flying season. Please note that this only affects the B-17.
All other aircraft flight operations are not affected. --What does this mean for your B-17 Air Adventure? This means that we will not be able to fly you on the B-17 this year and are thus fully refunding your order. These refunds will be processed over the next few weeks. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we get through the refunds. Can I fly on other Yankee Air Museum aircraft? Yes! The B-25
Rosie's Reply, C-47
Hairless Joe and Huey Helicopter are still flying this year. If you are interested in flying on these amazing aircraft, please check out our website for more information:

I'm dropping this one. My primary interest in this show was due to the Scott's Aviation Showcase, which hasn't been promoted to this point and we're only a couple weeks out from show time. I can't imagine it being a significant part of the show if they haven't made it a featured part of promotional efforts. Kind of a steep cost and less than favorable general admission seating layout to see acts I will already be seeing elsewhere this year, plus I'd only be able to attend Friday. Will still be interested to see photos and hear how it goes anyway. Hope it's a good show!
