Schedule a Flight Experience


There are several ways of scheduling a flight experience with the Collings Foundation B-17 Flying Fortress and/or the B-24 Liberator. Here are the steps you should follow:

  1. Find out the most convenient location where the Wings of Freedom Tour will be visiting in an area near you. Check our online schedule for the most updated stops, but don't worry if you don't see a location near you... we add stops weekly and tour nationwide. Contact us to inquire our intentions to tour in your area.
  2. If you are giving the flight as a gift and you would like to get a "Flight Certificate" to present, please order at least 3-4 weeks in advance of the date you are interested in having the experience take place. Click here for more information on Flight Certificates. If you are not giving as a gift, then you may just call to schedule a flight experience as noted in #3 and pay at the time of your flight.
  3. Call the Collings Foundation at 978-562-9182 prior to the stop you are interested in riding at. The office crew will talk to you about your preferred flight time. They will schedule the flight with you, and give you the check in time, and flight time. If you recieve a voicemail recording,. please give all contact infomation (name, phone number, date and time you called) as well as the location you would like to fly at, which aircraft you would like to fly, and the days and times you can fly.
  4. Flexibility is important due to the fact that weather, mechanical issues, and passenger load can play an issue in dispatching flights. Always have an alternate time available just in case.
  5. Once you have arranged a date and time to fly, you are set. Remember to arrive one hour prior to your flight. You will be asked to fill out some short paperwork and pay at this time. We accept cash, check, money order, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
  6. Enjoy your flight of a lifetime!
