Seen Fifi at a few airshows. The one that stands out is when protesters threw red paint balloons at it, protesting the glorification of war.

They were literally dragged off the tarmac by their hair by security.

I wasn’t aware that they were able to reassemble another. I do remember that Fifi was the only one flying when I saw her. Maybe remember something about them cannibalizing other 29s to build another (which I thought that is what they did to build Fifi). (Like I mentioned in the previous post, it has been almost 3 decades since I walked through Fifi.)
