Default Fifi's coming to the Metroplex!

Great news for all aviation buffs out there. Jim Cavanaugh, of Cavanaugh Flight Museum fame has generously donated $1.2 Million (ouch!) to rebuild Fifi's engines. Fifi, as everyone knows, is the last flightworthy B29 in the world. For this consideration, the Confederate Flight Museum will base both Fifi and Shewill (B24) at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum located at Addison Airport, Texas. Addison is a short 20 minute drive from my house and I'm ecstatic that this historical aircraft will be kept in my backyard. Keep posted as I will upload video of this aircraft once she is flying again!
