How would you like the opportunity for you and a guest to fly aboard a WWII B-17 Flying Fortress or B-24 Liberator? Dumb question, I know! Who wouldn't
like this opportunity?! Well, you can make it a reality now. As a result
of our participation in the Collings Foundation (www.collingsfoundation.org)
"Race of the Century" this past summer, a very generous donation
was made on our behalf to benefit TeamFox, a group founded by The Michael
J. Fox Foundation for supporting/raising funds for Parkinson's Disease
research. The Foundation kindly gave us a "Certificate for Flight
Experience", which gives the bearer the opportunity to participate in
"The Wings of Freedom Tour", a between-cities flight for two
aboard the B-17 Flying Fortress "Nine-O-Nine" or the B-24
Liberator "Witchcraft". Please refer to the Collings
Foundation website for more information regarding the specific details of
the flights, etc. We are proud to offer this amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
for $800.00 (an $850.00 value), and the entire purchase price
goes directly to TeamFox ( www.TeamFox.org
). Keep in mind that this certificate has no expiration date, so you can
use it any time in accordance with their flight schedule. Think of how
exciting this will be, all the while knowing that your purchase will
benefit a very worthwhile cause! We think it would make for a wonderful holiday
present! We have just one of these available, so please contact Bill or
Patrick to purchase, or with any questions you may have: |

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye!! Back in November 2011, I mentioned I was on a quest for something really big and perhaps would have a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity. When I met with our financial consultant and told him of this possible acquisition, there was a big pause and he said "Are you serious?". Well I was, and although I knew there was a distinct possibility we wouldn't get what we were after, it happened. I am sure you were all anxious to see what one-of-a-kind relic from Der Fuhrer I was after, but this time the purchase was for my 'other' hobby... And so, if you have a few minutes and wish to share in our enthusiasm, please make it a point to revisit our other website www.88mphtimemachine.com and check out what we purchased. Here is
a direct link to our most recent activity 88mphtimemachine.com/index.php/fun-activities
scroll down. We've also just posted this video on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9amVWm3RZk We hope you'll enjoy your visit! |

a reality. |
