pleasure flight pricing for 2014

For 2014:

http://www.eaa.org/en/airventure/features-and-attractions/flight-experience-rides

Trimotor: US$ 75 walk-up. Depart Oshkosh and fly over the lake- past the seaplane site. Time anywhere around 15 minutes. Best seats are the two right up front and in-line with the engines.

Bell 47: US$49 Walk up near the museum. 5-7 minute flight taking in the camping, aircraft parking and showground. 2 seats (centre and right) no doors. A must-do for that panoramic Oshkosh image.

Schweizer 333 turbine helo. US$740 for two people for 30 minutes? No thanks. (And it did not do a lot of flying last year)

B17 From US$409-475 based on whether you are an EAA member etc. Its based at Appleton airport and it takes up a fair bit of one day for the experience.

B29- yes you can fly in the B29 but it’s not coming to Oshkosh this year. Prices when you can find it are: Bombardier seat US$1595, Copilot seat $1095, gunners seats $595. The B24 liberator IS coming and normally charges US$399 a seat- but sadly its only on static display this year so no joy flights.

The CAF are also offering a number of rides:

Mustang: US$1795 for 30 minutes

T6 texan: US$ 395 for 30 minutes or US$645 for aerobatics

Stearman: US$225 or US$395 aerobatics. One of the australian tour group people was in this ( or waiting for it?) last year when it did a ground loop.
