Fifi is the only flying B-29 in the world right now and it just happened to be making a four day stop on its tour in Phoenix. So we ended our Air2Air Workshop by heading over toe Deer Valley where is was coming in. Most know of the B-29 because it’s what delivered the Atom Bomb to end WWII.

It was great to see all the folks turn out to see Fifi. The CAF does a great job preserving and sharing our aviation history with the public. I have a personal attachment for the B-29 because my father fly in the nose of one during WWII and Korea. Jake said it best when he first saw Fifi…”And I thought the B-17 was big!”
