B 29
the download viewing is has great detail of the plane when zoomed in
Very neat catch. Glad to see some of them are still around.
This is the only one flying .
FIFI is the only B-29 still flying. Great catch.
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

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.
This is what the Enola Gay was which dropped the atomic bombs in WWII
Do you know which airport it is flying out of now?
Saw it twice this week over Delray Beach and Boynton Beach.
