  1. Wow, thanks Ralph, what a sight.

  2. Caught that this morning and sent it to all my aviation buddies Good to see another one actually flying.

  3. Thanks, Ralph. I got to see Fifi last year, really an impressive sight. A friend got to ride in her, his son bought him a ticket. He remarked to the crew that there was this creaking he was hearing. They told him it was the crew!
    When they said it was landing, everyone stopped what they were doing and ran to the flightline. Quite a sight!

  4. Thanks for the link, Ralph...saw Fifi, now gotta see Doc sometime.

  5. Beautiful. thanks for sharing

  6. Fantastic. What a sight... Never seen a B-29... Or a 17 or 24 for that matter... Not in Australia... Gotta move to the US...

  7. Always exciting to see another warbird airworthy! I too got too crawl around in Fifi and watch her fly. Always a thrill!

  8. Lovely Ralph - thank you - some great footage
