The B-29 Superfortress

Watch as FIFI, the mighty B-29 Superfortress arrives into the Laughlin/Bullhead City International Airport for Legends over the Colorado fly in 2011. The first shot is the arrival of FIFI being escorted by 3 different warbirds and making her first pass over the field. FIFI was at the airport for Legends over the Colorado fly in but was also selling (very expensive)rides in it. The takeoff shot shows the first riders in the Superfortress while at the airport. Hundreds of locals showed up to witness the bomber as she took to the clear blue skies. I can now mark another aircraft I've always wanted to see off my list.

FIFI is owned and maintained by the Commemorative Air Force. For info on how you can possibly get a ride in this or another one of their aircraft's, please visit http://www.cafb29b24.org/

THATS NOT A B-29 its a B-17...jk lol sweet catch on FiFi bro!! was worth it huh?

[8081rt]

@Skyes9 Ralph, clearly it has 4 engines. That means it's a B-25. The B-17 would have a letter B on the tail. So worth 4 drives back and forth and 200$ worth of gas, lol. I mean I only saw it once, but shit, DGAF status.

[hongrand]

@8081rt You got it wrong. FYI B25s have two engines.

[8081rt]

@hongrand Dude I know. I was joking. Chill.

[hongrand]

@Skyes9 It is a B29

[8081rt]

@hongrand Dude we were joking. I think we know what a B-17 and B-29 look like. Read the sentence, do you see the jk. That means, Just Kidding.

The take-off is insane, it just floats up in the air!

[NikitasGuitars]

What a great thing to see her flying again. The new engines sound great and arent trailing streams of oil everywhere they go like the old ones haha.

While usa was making BIGGEST BOMBER planes. Nazi Germany was doing something ahead of everyone else. Not even OSS knew about this till ground forces came across this and aviators encountered them in combat. They were effective but arrived late in "GAME".

While usa was too busy making these huge bomber planes hahaha. Nazi Germanys tactics were ahead they just didnt have the skill set yet and showed up too late.

Other wise, that might of had an impact even though the Luftwaffle was gone.

[Smuli85]

@8081rt You both are wrong. That plane is B-29 as title says.

[MrMilfhunter2003]

outstanding plane

@Terry1969ism Keep wanting, faggot

[sjano1994]

OMG everbody knows that this is a B-29, look at its nose. Google is your friend.

[99rsk]

@Terry1969ism

we both agree,war itself is a crime,but you should not only put your comments on american WW2 vid's

You also wrote that high altitude bombing was cowardly, how would you describe the shelling of London with V-1 and V-2?

[Terry1969ism]

@99rsk

Just want you people to acknowledge you crimes and stop self-fellating all the damn time!

[99rsk]

@Terry1969ism

I've seen your comments on various videos,let me guess,you hate yankees???

BTW it was the ''enola gay'' over hiroshima,escorted by the ''the great artiste'' and the ''necessary evil''

the ''bockscar' was used over nagasaki,escorted by,again ''the great artiste'' and ''the big sink''

[Terry1969ism]

This plane carried out the biggest war crime ever

[16jhuang]
