I'm sure she'll fly in on Fri the 23rd. Ought to make another fun weekend.
Strange time of year though, no holiday attached to it.

Fred's going to need CPR!!! I'd love to fly her but that's a bit out of my range right now. Def gonna be there to see her go off!

Great post Chris. I will go shoot her but I am not paying to fly her. That money is better used toward my D200! :mrgreen:

I hope the fare for the ride includes a parachute.

Fifi is grounded due to engine problems..... NO SHOW! I am very sad.

thats pretty steep we only charge 400 bucks for the B-17,which should be out Ny way this summer, along with the C-47 at TEB this August. Unfortunately engine problems are the bane of Warbirds existence,and the B-29s Wright engines are not the most reliable round engines out there.

The difference between a B-17 and the 29 is that there are lots of
flightworthy 17's out there. I took a trip on the B-17 Aluminum Overcast
a few years back and you can see MANY shots of my adventure here
http://www.fromtheflightdeck.com/Stories/FMBoeing17/FMb17.htm .
The B-29 was unable to take fare passengers up until this year due to the
insurance and the Navy. Yes, the Navy is the owner because it was on a
bombing range until it was rescued and restored. The aircraft cost many
times more to fix than a B-17 because there are so few of this type and
only one Flyable.

Lets see if anyone can spot waldo!

its also a lot less mechanically reliable than the B-17, always was,the B-29 is a great ship, but I will take the belle of the 8th AF any day,besides ,the Fortress has a tailwheel !
