PEACHTREE CITY, Georgia — Having trouble finding the right gift for the fathers in your life?
The Commemorative Air Force Airbase Georgia may have the answer with its re-opened World War II aircraft public rides program — a gift that will never be forgotten, according to officials.
A phone call to the Airbase (678-364-1110) will provide all the information you need to book a flight for the special people in your life, and guests are invited to watch the departure and return at the Airbase Georgia hangar at Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field (KFFC).
Flights are available on the iconic P-51 Mustang, an SBD Dauntless Dive Bomber, and trainer aircraft including the Fairchild P-19 and North American T-6. A later model trainer, the T-34, is fully restored and offers a great view with its bubble canopy.
Flights must be scheduled and are dependent upon weather and aircraft availability. Prices begin at $150. Flight information also is available at [email protected].
“We love to see the smiles on the faces of our riders when they return after a unique experience in our aircraft,” said Rides Coordinator Stephen Hoofnagle. “Young or old, our passengers always enjoy feeling a bit of history as they buckle into one of our vintage aircraft. This is a great gift for the dad who has everything or the dad you want to honor with a memorable experience.”
