Yep....that's what it was. They have a B-17 and a B-25 and several smaller a/c. There were several LSFM planes up at the Montgomery County airport, and for a fairly hefty fee ($425 for 20-25 minutes in the B-17), you could go for a ride in the plane. I live about 3 miles from the airport, and saw 'em flyin' around all afternoon. I had been down in Freeport all weekend working on a ship, and saw the billboard on the drive home. Check out their web site... http://www.lsfm.org/. They do fly-ins at the small airports around Houston, and I think on most other weekends you can get a ride at the museum site in Galveston. I just picked up old model kits of a B-17, B-25 and B-29 from a local hobby shop...$5.00 each. The grandsons and I are gonna have fun with those.
