Four weeks ago I heard a rumble outside and knew it was something different; I ran outside and a B-29 with a big “A” on the tail flew directly over me about 1000 feet up. I of course googled it and found out it was FiFi. My dad was an armorer for B-17s, B-24s and B-29s in the South Pacific, so it was so cool to see.

Very cool. My dad was an Electrical Specialist and worked on B25’s and P47’s etc.. in the China-Burma Theater. He is still with us at 92.
