And because there are three seats on each flight, you get to go along with them on the ride…  

Three passenger seats are available on each flight.  Two are on the President's bench seat across the back.  There's plenty of room there... after all, he was the President. The third seat is in the cockpit next to the pilot.  There you have a great view and can watch the instruments and the pilot flying the plane.

Limited Supply...  so ACT TODAY

You must act today.   The plane cannot accommodate an unlimited number of flights.    Act quick to secure one of the limited number of slots.    Last year was the first year of offering Gift Certificates and the inventory sold out quickly.

This authentic aircraft was used exclusively by the White House starting in 1955 while Ike was President. It carried the highest officials of our land on short range trips from the Washington DC area.   The plane was discovered in the late 90’s and began a total restoration to flight status.   The plane is now flying with the Commemorative Air Force out of Dallas Executive Airport.
