Great trip. Bus ride was excellent. I decided to stay with the museum volunteer, rather than tour on my own, and I'm glad I did. I didn't see a lot of the museum, but I have been there a couple of times before. What I did see was extremely informative and interesting, thanks to the volunteer. Looking forward to the next one.

Absolutely Wonderful. I loved having early acces and enjoying lunch with good company. I loved touring the B17 and seeing the facilities. Absolutely fabulous and awe inspiring. Mr. Copeland and the team at the Mighty 8th have granted me wonderful learning opportunities and experiences that I will treasure for life.

It was a great day,! I was very impressed with the museum at Warner Robbins— and Mike, who took us around was so helpful , explaining things and letting people go up into the restored B-17 if they chose to. The box lunch was very good. The bus was comfortable and our driver was great. Mark did a great job of planning this for us at a very reasonable price for a very fun and educational day.
