planes and particularly planes from WW11, this is Fifi. It is the
</b><b><u>only </u></b><b>flying B-29 Strato Fortress in the world.
This is one of the combat airplanes that flew from Iwo Jima, Saipan, Tinian
islands to bomb Japan and help win the war. It was usually escorted by
P-51 Mustangs to protect her from enemy fighters, but many thousands of planes
and aircrews were lost fighting for our country. </b></font></div>

missiles and electronics. These planes were flown by men from our farms
and cities who left their families at home and risked their lives in high
altitude gun fights. It was up close, brutal and extremely dangerous but
they risked it all to protect our country. Many never came home
again. We love, respect and honor all of our veterans. But we also
have a love affair with the planes. It is a permanent addiction for us so
we preserve these wonderful aircraft so you can see and experience the marvelous
machines that preserved our freedom. </b></font></div>
