Our Wing
is now actively seeking new "B-17 Crew Members". "Texas Raiders" is
undergoing the final stages of restoration, and when ready for flight,
will tour the country for about six months out of the year. Texas Raiders
is one of just 12 remaining flyable B-17s in the world and when touring,
our crew members will be providing living history to young and old alike.
By joining our wing, you can become one of our crew members flying in this
unique, vintage WW II B-17G.
