You are both correct. There was an air show near Carlisle where a B-17 and a B-29 (FiFi) was at the show selling rides.
I went up in a B-17 a few years ago when the Teterboro Air & Car show was held on father's day weekend. I still have the shakes.

A few more B-17 pics
Those bombardier and top turret views are fantastic !!! That had to be the ride of a lifetime.
"FIFI" and "DOC" are the last two airworthy and flyable B-29s left. Most others like the "Enola Gay" and "Bockscar" are only found in museums as static displays.
Do you remember the name of the B-17 that you flew in ??
That Norden Bombsight was the top of technology during WW II for bombing accuracy with a test accuracy of 75 feet Circular Error Probability (CEP) from an altitude of 20,000 feet. Incredible. Under Combat Conditions, the CEP was more like 400 feet .... but still pretty State of the Art at the time.

She was called the "Yankee Lady". We flew from Teterboro Airport in Bergen County NJ south toward Newark Airport. We then turned north and cruised the outer areas of NYC, following the Hudson river. I shot video and stills while on the 30 minute flight.
If you want to see the entire set, send me an email and I'll forward the entire file.

Arrived home last night. Sunday went from Carlisle to Willow Grove, PA to tend to some family business. Also caught up with a couple friends in the area.
Had the usual good time with my Marauder friends, and weather was great this year for a change (hehe)
Hope to see more next year, those who couldn't make it this time.

I made it home.
After 2 weeks on the road the total miles to & from the house is 9,034 Miles.
If I had another week I'd be in California to Seattle.
Carlisle was awesome & overwhelming at the same time & great to meet new owners too.
I checked out about a dozen museums going through 25 states on the route & meeting new people everywhere.
The MM ran hard n fast but burnt out my blower motor & resistor for the A/C
in Tallahassee,FL which is no fun touring the south but PEP Boys got it replaced
& I was back on the road again.

I've walked through a B-17 several times and there isn't much room. The walk across the bomb bay is tricky. I can't imagine what it would have been like to be in a B-17 during a bombing run being shot at by the enemy.
I've seen the B-29 once here in Minnesota. Wish they would make a return trip. FiFi is the only B-29 still flying.
