I would love to see a B29 in the air, it would be great if they ever brought it over to Europe and Britain.

Back in either 1982 or 1983 when I was stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base, FIFI made a fairly unusual appearance there. Seems it had a some significant engine problems and had to put down on the base. Needless to say it was on base for a couple of days before they could get it airworthy and back on its way. One day when it was still there I went out to look at the plane, well I just had to ask if I could have a look inside. To my surprise they said sure take look inside. Up and in I went and spent close to an hour and half just sitting up in the cockpit, and what fun time that was. In one of my photo albums I have some pictures I took of the interior, have to see if I can see where I put them.

I had the privilege of parachuting into an airshow at Offutt Air Force Base about 10 years ago where Fifi was one of the performers. She was parked very close to the area where we were to land and it was a fairly breezy afternoon. I still remember as I was coming in, all I kept saying to myself was "Do not land on the B-29!...Don't not land on the B-29!"....Thankfully I didn't...but I sure came close to that Harrier!
