My grandson and I went to the Warbirds airshow at Valiant Air Command in Titusville today. Lots of flying classics including Tico Belle - a genuine D-Day participant C-47 that did a drop of 14 WW2 equipped paratroopers, 2 Mustangs, a Corsair, 3 Mitchells, Mig-17, Sabre, Skyhawk, F-16, an aerobatic Beechcraft 18 of all things, lots of Texans and various others but the star for me was Fifi - I didn't realize this was the only flying B-29 anywhere.

Sorry the quality isn't great - all I had was my small point and press camera.

Looks like a great day out and great to see a flying B29.....

Not jealous at all!

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.
Just thought I'd let you know that FIFI isn't the only airworthy B29 anymore.
