That is a pretty cool piece of American history right there, and to get it on Vetern's day to boot! 

Sure hope she eventually does the tour around the nation, would love to see her fly near San Diego.

Before FiFi was put back into the air, anyone have an idea of how long it had been since a B-29 was in the air?

FiFi was grounded in early 2006.

So glad they were able to get her flying again.  Heading out to Long Beach in a bit to check her out.
