Not so wishful-lets do it! I am all set up for Superfortress bomber camp. Lets do it here at Stockton in combination with a tour stop. Get the powers that be to call me and we can make it work. After we refine the program then we should do a special Atomic bomber camp edition at Wendover. No joke-we can do this.

I am still working on getting the lower forward turret running on Fifi. We have been having problems with a replacement Amplidyne but are making good progress on a solid state replacement. Progress is slow but steady.

A couple of shots of the old girl coming into Alliance AP on 10/30/2010 for the airshow that weekend. A low approach, followed by landing. Sure was nice to see her in the air again!

Did the mecahnical happen at Alliance? Noticed it sat there for quite a while after the show was done.

We left her there for convenience. She broke at Addison.
