Default FIFI flies again!

Fifi update:

Fifi is the worlds only flyable b-29 superfortress and has been grounded for years for an engine refit and various upgrades.
she finished her 4th and final maintenance flight for FAA certifcation recently. she will make her big debute at the midland, tx airshow this weekend after 6 years on the ground. she will be based out of addison, tx at the at the Cavanaugh flight museum. she is actually 2 years ahead of schedule. the husband of a gal who used to work for me was hired to do work on her...Fifi that is... and i believe is the flight engineer. i will post more pics when she sends them.
