That ride sounds like a bargain. In Mount Hope, Ontario we have the Lancaster, one of 2 in airworthy condition. Basic senior membership is $100.00 and for Bomber Crew Membership which is an additional $2,000.00 you may have the privilege of a one hour flight in the Lancaster (includes donation receipt for $1000.00). I can't afford it but if I ever win the lottery I know one of the things that I am going to do.  :D :D

Yes, well didn't knock em down but did manage to fly into them with my Radio Control aircraft. Those aircraft are amazing. on a 100 acre sod farm with only 1 or 2 trees the airplane will always seem to find them. Just ask anybody that has flown Radio Control.  :lol: :lol:

Can't say to the RC airplanes, But I know the same effect is on RC cars can be in the middle of a ten acre parking lot, or dirt plot. And my 1/6 scale 2 stroke weed wacker buggy will find any piece of metal that can get around the belly plates and break the steering. It is sitting on the bench now waiting for repairs, when I get some extra time. :doh:

I know when I was doing Hot air balloons it seemed some people flying could hit a tree or branches of the only tree in a 40 acre field, no matter which way they came in and how far they were away from it  :scratch:  :lol: :lol: :lol:
