"FIFI" will be coming to Burbank on Thursday, 21 March thru Sunday, 24 March.

I'm coming down to Engineer on Thursday night and will be there until I have to come back to the real world on Sunday. Come out, buy a ride, take a tour, drop in and say hi.

Is there a particular flight path that is followed out of Burbank for the ride program? Reason I ask is I have a large development going on West of Burbank that could be interesting to photograph from a B-29. I'll be down that neck of the woods Friday.

Hey Brad,

Thank the B-29 folks for me. I missed their departure yesterday from CMA as I had business at Aero Trader in Chino. The FIFI crew members were fantastic! I tried my best to poison them with my hamburgers Monday but they all looked to be in good shape the next morning. A fantastic airplane and a fantastic crew.

Thanks to all.

I posted some pics on our PBJ retroaviation link

Here are a few shots I took Monday when she was delayed at Palm Springs while waiting for the fog to clear at Camarillo:
