While it's not a gift that would keep on giving, like gun training or the like, it would be a once in a lifetime experience.For example, the Yankee Air Museum, near Detroit Michigan, offers 30 minute flights on either their B-25D Mitchell bomber, Yankee Warrior; or on the B-17G Yankee Lady. Flights cost $400 and $425, respectively.Perfect for wearing the Schotts bomber jacket you got!
