B-29 "FiFi" Takeoff and Landing at the Dupage County Airport on 7-23-2011

The only flyable B-29 is shown taking off and landing at the Dupage Airport in West Chicago, Illinois. This passenger flight was delayed by about five hours due to the weather.

Airplanes in flight can be difficult to video well. I had three cameras set up to catch the action, but finally used the video from only the primary. Probably need a camera and person to run it at several locations to make the multi-camera thing work well.
