I was told the caf B-29 did a flyby at the airshow in Fort Worth this weekend with a P-51 or P-40 for escourt. Is this the first airshow she flew in since they finished the restoration? As I have seen here before, it did not happen if their is no pictures!

This is the best I could do as I was not at my seat along the fence when It came through plus Gumby in the P-51 didn't get very close to her.

Fifi made two passes during the show. LSFM's P-51, Galveston Gal, was the escort.
