Jim Harley Quotations

We get veterans that walk up, and they've honestly seen enough war, they've seen enough of the old bird and they walk away. Others embrace it. They'll stand here and tell stories all day long, and of course, their families can't believe all the conditions they fought under.

This tour is very popular. There's character to these planes that make people feel connected to them and it's a chance to get an up close (look) at history.

It's so busy with so many tourists, it's so crowded, the lift lines are so long, that it's no fun. We end up going somewhere else.

These planes were flying at over 30,000 feet. The men had to worry about temperatures dropping to 60 (degrees) below (zero). They had to worry about a lack of oxygen, all while trying to accomplish their missions.

I love old airplanes; I love the veterans; I love flying. It's a great history. My family was involved in WWII; I grew up with it, so this is a natural extension of my life.
