Fifi:
I saw her parked next to a B-52 at the Andrews AFB Air Show in the 1980s. She looked small, even though she was the largest bomber of her war.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
That was a warm start sequence. They didn't go the usual 12 blades, and you can 'hear' the difference between 3350s with long stacks (like Fifi), and Connies with the short stacks. The long stack birds don't 'pop' like the Connies. Pretty bird, and congrats to the team that spent YEARS restoring her!
ReplyDeleteShowing my age, I saw Fifi at Oshkosh in 1981 and overheard a crew member tell someone it cost $2000.00 per hour to fly her. Forty three years later I would imagine its gone up substantially. Didn't they change out her Wrights for P/W's recently. Magnificent airplane.
