Here is a video of the first 15 minutes of my ride in the Commemorative Air Force B-29 "FIFI". I plan to finish a complete movie of the entire ride along with some of it's history. I would like to thank my pilot Paul Stojkov, Co-pilot Tom Travis, and Flight Engineer Brad Pilgram but especially David Oliver the Operations Officer/B-29 Tour Coordinator who gave me a media seat in the cockpit.

This is a long movie but worth the watch if you have never been inside one of flying warbirds. Sorry for the quality it was shot with a handheld cell phone. This was a last minute ride and had I known ahead of time I would have had a better camera and set it up ahead of time. I hope to try this again in the future using better equipment. The video is shaky not because I am nervous, this plane is one huge vibrator when it's running!

I couldn't take it any longer with the shaking before the engines started-
What a shame. Next time attach a brick to the phone and use two hands.
Brace against anything & remove any zoom before shooting.
And never Use Flames in any Aircraft production - That's just nuts.
If you do make another - leave the heavy tripod attached to keep action smooth.
