The world's only flying B-29 Superfortress is coming to Camarillo!
Southern California residents and tourists will experience "hands on" history this March when FIFI, the Commemorative Air Force's iconic Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, flies into Camarillo Airport. FIFI and other World War II military aircraft will be on display at the Commemorative Air Force Southern California (SoCal) wing's facility at 455 Aviation Drive in Camarillo, Monday, March 2 through Sunday, March 8. The stop in Camarillo is the first of three Southern California stops planned for the CAF AirPower History Tour.
Accompanying aircraft include the CAF SoCal wing's P-51 Mustang Man O' War; two very rare fighters—a Supermarine Spitfire and Mitsubishi Japanese Zero; a C-45 Expeditor and several other vintage military airplanes. Visitors may tour the B-29 cockpit and purchase rides in many of the airplanes.
The Boeing B-29 Superfortress, first flown in 1942, began active service in 1944 and is best known as the airplane whose missions over Japan helped bring about the end of World War II. It was designed as a replacement for the older B-17s and B-24s, with longer range and greater bomb loads. The B-29 was also used in the Korean War in the early 1950s and was a staple of the U.S. Air Force until the late 1950s.
Entry contribution is $15 for adults and $8 for children age 10 through 17. Children under age 10 are free. The airplanes will be on static display when they are not flying. B-29 cockpit tours are included in the contribution. Ride prices range from $75 to $1895. Ride reservations may be made at www.AirPowerTour.org where additional information about the tour stop may also be found.
