Didn't see this mentioned before...
On Memorial Day, the Commemorative Air Force moved their B-29 "Fifi" out of the hangar in Midland, TX, and started all four engines, the first time they have had all four running simultaneously since she was grounded in 2006. They have a target date of June 29 for her return to flight. They hope to tour briefly over the summer, then fly her during their "Airsho" event in October. Hope to see her back at FRG one day soon.
