I think it is a hat, John, but will check it out tomorrow and report back!

Archie Bunker pronounced it "turlit" seat.

[Randy Wilson]

Yes, I remember. Are you looking for a new hat, too? All the best.

It's a hat guys! I will confirm that!!
This has been a lot of fun working with Mark and Angela. We have about a day and a half left to finish it and get it up and running. They are the leading experts in this type of video and we will have a state of the art system when its done.
Not only do we have the only flying B-29 in the world! We will be able to give our passengers a DVD of there experience. No other bomber I know of can do that!!

Rides on "FIFI" are $959.00 for the front end and $595.00 for the back end! The DVD is free. The experience is unforgetable!

[B29B24crewchief]

This was posted 1 AUG 10 on the CAF President's Blog (Steve Brown):

"FIFI received its final LOA, clearing it to begin flight testing this week, which was a perfect lead in to the Press Conference announcing the The RED, WHITE AND LOUD Tour - starring Aaron Tippin and CAF's B-29 FIFI. The coverage that we have received and the buzz in the aviation AND Country Music industry has been spectacular. Aaron and I had several very productive meetings with potential sponsors and we are hopeful. We also announced the first stop, which will occur in less than a month in Denver, Colorado. (See the press release on the website for details) The Colorado Sport International Air Show (Aug 28-29) management is very excited and are promoting this event already, including the first-ever rides in FIFI, a full concert by Aaron and even a celebrity golf tournament starring Aaron."

I will issue a post flight report as soon after flight as I can.
