Nice recent vid about "FIFI"

Good interviews about the B-29 and the huge job CAF members are doing every year to keep "FIFI" in flight. There is detailed video both external and internal features of aircraft and of course it is also nice to see former B-29 navigator taking a ride with the aircraft. He experienced the unreliability of the wartime R-3350 the hard way during the WWII...
Definitely a must see to all warbird and B-29 fans :wiggle:
 
Grunt,...thanks for posting. One of the better videos I've seen on 'Fifi.' Superb filming, audio,....and editing to it. Not one dull minute of the total thirteen minutes in length. Plus I learned a few things about the replacement engines used in the aircraft. <label for="rb_iconid_14">

AirPower History Tour

Fantastic video, I really enjoyed it! FIFI is traveling all over the U.S. this year, and for the complete tour information (to find if it will be stopping over at an aiport near you), you can view their webpage for the tour here: http://www.airpowersquadron.org/ (and it should have another CAF warbird with it at each stop)

Fortunately, due to recent events, in about three years FIFI will no longer be the last, only flying B-29. ; )
