<div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">To our
friends who may not understand the passion we feel for planes and
particularly planes from WW11, this is Fifi. It is the <u>only</u> 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. <br><br>This happened at a time in history
before we had long range 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.<br><br>We have completely rebuilt this aircraft and those
powerful prop engines to bring Fifi back to life. It took years to
accomplish, many thousands of donated dollars and thousands of hours of
work by many unpaid volunteers to make this happen so that everyone can
share this important part of our history. This is a unique flying museum.
<br><br>If you get a chance to see her at an airshow, don't pass up the
chance. You are watching history and she is the only one left out of
thousands. This is truly a rare aircraft. Enjoy the video.<br><br>Col. Tom
