Someone is selling rides on this and a prop-era fighter out of the Boca airport.

Yes they are @ Ft Lauderdale Executive Airport. I went there to day to see if the FiFi landed there.

Great pics. I used to live in Harlingen, TX when the CAF was stationed there. Brings back some memories.

Cool beans!

We had a visit to the Liberty Belle -- since sadly burned in a Midwestern field -- in Hartford a few years back. I have some shots at http://smu.gs/xQRUwx.

It is FIFI, the last remaining B29 flying. It was here last week at the Tico Airshow. You can buy a ride on it if it's at an airshow in your area. I'm sure you can google a lot of info about it.

Actually they did. I think they got their hands on 3 of them but just one would be enough and yes they copied it down to the bolt.

Do you know which airport it is flying out of now?

Saw it twice this week over Delray Beach and Boynton Beach.
