Best 4K Footage Yet Of BEAUTIFUL Boeing B-29 Superfortress FIFI
Показать описание
Fifi is 1 of 2 B-29 in airworthy conditions. At a private airshow for some investors as part of Up Summit conference at a ranch in Texas, FIFI the B29 showed up along with a pair of P-51 Mustangs, a MiG-29 and a few other cool aircraft. I was able to attend the short airshow and had a blast spotting these awesome pieces of history and very rare knowing that FIFI is 1 of 2 B-29's flying in the world and both are in the USA. Also that MiG-29 is the only one currently airworthy and privately owned in the states.
Built by Boeing at the Renton factory in Washington, B-29A serial number 44-62070 was delivered to the USAF in Kansas in 1945. Modified to a TB-29A standard, it served as an administrative aircraft before being placed in "desert storage". It was returned to active duty in 1953.
The airplane was retired in 1958 and placed at the U.S. Navy Naval Weapons Center and bombing range at China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station in California as part of a group of 36 B-29s. The Commemorative Air Force, then known as the Confederate Air Force (now called Commemorative Air Force), acquired it in 1971 and registered it as a civilian aircraft. It was flown to CAF headquarters at Harlingen, Texas on 3 August 1971 and re-registered as N529B in August 1981.
