Re: Fifi to fly again?

I saw an article about this a couple of months back in FlyPast magazine. I have seen Fifi fly a couple of times and even once got to take a look inside.

Re: Fifi to fly again?

If I understand it correctly, Fifi will be at Dayton 6/20 to 6/23/08. Does that mean she will be flying there?

That is what the calender shows, but I thought she was still going under some restoration work.

Re: Fifi to fly again?

I don't think FIFI will be attending any shows this year. The guys at Midland are modifying her with different engines, here is a thread on the progress.

Thanks for the clarification, Warhawk. I guess I'll find out for sure when I get info from the Dayton Airshow itself, but, even though the website for the CAF states she'll be there, based on everything else it seems unlikely.

Re: Fifi to fly again?

This was buried in the thread, can't wait to see her flying again!
"Our goal is to have FIFI flying by Airsho 2009 (late September '09). It's going to be a difficult goal, but it could happen if all goes well. We plan to start the tour in 2010."
