Payment for your flight is a tax-deductible donation to the Delaware Aviation Museum. You will receive a letter to that effect at the conclusion of your flight.  Payment is not expected until you check in for your flight. If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you will be notified by phone, so please give a cell phone # when you make your reservation.

Children under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian passenger.

Passengers should be in reasonable physical condition to fly in Panchito.

Any questions or concerns regarding physical size or ability should be directed to Lorie Thomsen at the phone number listed above.

Ground-Crew-Panchito_origYou should not ride in our B-25 if you have any medical condition which could be aggravated by extreme noise, heat, small spaces or lack of ventilation. If you are prone to motion sickness, vertigo or cannot easily climb the vertical steps into the aircraft or move about the aircraft to gain access to the emergency exits in case of an emergency, you are discouraged from flying.

Your Flight Experience will last approximately 30 minutes, from the time you begin to taxi out until you taxi back in. A full safety briefing will take place at the aircraft just prior to your flight. This briefing, conducted by the pilot and co-pilot, will cover all emergency procedures as well as seat belts, what you can and cannot do once aboard and what to expect before, during and after your flight.

Panchito can take a maximum of 5 passengers, but will launch with a minimum of 3, if that is all thatPANCHITO SEATING  CHART New sign up for a particular flight. If we do not get at least 3 passengers for a given flight, and you have signed up for that flight, we will contact you and try to get you on another flight.

Each seat position offers great views of both the inside and outside. Once airborne, you may tour the entire section where your seat is located.
