was fifi ever used in a movie?
Fri Jun 17, 2011 8:11 pm
Offhand, I can think of the TV movie "Enola Gay" and the film "The Right Stuff." She was painted with a black belly for the latter, and carried it for awhile afterward.
She used to have three little movie camera icons on the side, similar to mission marks, listing "Enola Gay," "The Right Stuff" and "Fat Man and Little Boy." I saw the last one, and while Ol' 927 (then "Diamond Lil") features prominently in a couple of scenes I don't recall seeing Fifi..those scenes may have ended up on the cutting room floor.

Tom: The folks at Cincinnati approached us with a deal that included covering many of our expenses, and a guaranteed revenue level. We also have had success at Lunken in the past, we are open to visiting just about anywhere if certain conditions are met. We also try to string together stops in a logical manner that will costs us a minimum in fuel in between stops.
We have been having a VERY good year so far, and look forward to continued success in Kansas City, Chicago, Oshkosh, St. Louis, and Memphis on our next swing!
