There's an airworthy B-24 that visits Syracuse every year. For a few hundred dollars you can take a ride. I've always wanted to do it but don't really have the spare cash. My Grandfather was a navigator on B-24s as well, 8th Air Force. 446th Heavy Bombardment Group, 704th Bombardment Squadron out of Bungay. He got activated for Korea and flew missions from Japan in B-29s. Then he transitioned to B-47s until they bounced him out in '59.

There's a RB-57A at the Wings of Eagles here in NY. I have to get back down there now that they are in their new facility and shoot it with the proper lens.
