Wild West Airfest Planes:
An exciting part of the Wild West Air Fest is that you can be apart of the action and fly in the Pacific Prowler, a B-25 Mitchell World War II Bomber. This fascinating plane is one of just a handful of B-25s that still fly today. The B-25 Mitchell Bomber was made famous on the daring Doolittle Raid on Tokyo which took place four months after the events at Pearl Harbor. The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota is a military transport aircraft that was developed from the Douglas DC-3 airliner. It was used extensively by the Allies during World War II and remained in front line operations through the 1950s with a few remaining in operation to this day. B-25, C-47 and many other plane rides are available!  

	Reserve a ride on any of these aircraft HERE
	Pacific Prowler B-25 Mitchell Bomber Ride Cost: $350
	Douglas C-47 Ride Cost: $45
