For all those wanting the natural sound just stick your head out of a car window moving 180 mph and thats what it sounded like from my perspective from the camera plane. Even 4 3350's could not cut through that wind noise. Besides, as much as I don't like country music, this artist is touring with FIFI so it was appropriate.

Wonderful ship, please remove the soundtrack so I can hear the engines.

People who abuse the exclamation mark with excessive use

are the real cause of the decline of the Republic.

Anyone who finds it necessary to use a string of [!] should be rounded

up and airdropped over some faraway land without a parachute.

..."to stupid?" really?

THE PROPER MUSIC FOR FIFI

[rustyATV]

Any chance you can break out from 3:50 on into it's own video? Any time I watch this or show it to other people, I skip to that part because Sinatra's much more enjoyable.

A magnificent machine. The last time I saw her was at Paine Field in WA, as FIFI and the CAF's B-24 departed the traffic pattern and headed east toward Spokane. I was awestruck---but also worried that neither airplane could be kept flying for too many more years. I'm delighted to be proved wrong on that last count.

saw Fifi fly at the ww2 weekend in Reading Pa this summer. Awesome! When I was going back to my car, I didnt realize i was at the end of the runway.  All of a sudden Fifi came out of nowhere and literally flew off into the sunset. Just amazing!

Saw this plane years ago at a show in Clark county Indiana

Hi FIFI, Last time I saw you cracked a manifold. Great to see you up and flying again girl. I wish you could make a stop in Burbank someday. That would be a sight to see.
