Got $40K? You could cross the Atlantic in a Lancaster bomber

Featured Replies

The Lancaster Bomber at the Warplane Heritage Museum is making a last time ever flight across the Atlantic to join the Royal Air Force's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. So for $40,000 you could join as a passenger.

 

My Grandfather was a navigator on one so I would love to but don't have $40k....so donations are appreciated  :lol:

I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me 

I'm surprised they just don't put it on a ship.  I'd think it would be cheaper.

Because dismantling it and shipping it over would cost lots of money and no one would see it. Flying it over would have scheduled stops and tours that would generate income and marketing for the museum.

Living in the GTA ive seen this plane fly around quite a bit and it is a beaut! What an experience to be able to pilot that across the atlantic.

Wow, and of course they are going to make the crossing at under 10,000 feet, rough ride but quite a view!!

 

 

 


so donations are appreciated
