FIFI B-29 in Modesto!
« on: Jun 02, 2014, 05:33:54 PM »
I went to see “FIFI” the B-29 today at the Modesto airport!  I had a great time looking over the plane!  :usa: It was worth the ten bucks to see it! They are going to be in town until Wednesday.

Nice...one of the nice things about Tucson, is all the aviation history here. Air shows at the base and Pima Air Museum. Nice pictures.

I went to see Fifi one more time today before they leave.

Lucky few who got to take a ride on Fifi.




P51-Mustang




Last one with the motors running. The sound of 8,000HP is awesome! Love it!  :yupyup:
