Well, came to town. This past weekend, the CAF B-29 Superfortress "FIFI" paid a visit to the Rochester area as part of their fundraising tour. Or, I assume it was a fund raising tour - they were offering rides and tours all weekend, and I imagine the cost to operate is something I don't want to imagine, so probably every place it goes involves fundraising. Anyway, I drive past the general aviation side of ROC on my way to work, and on Friday spotted a very tall, curvy tail fin. Managing a better look while negotiating morning traffic on Scottsville Rd was tough, but I saw enough to identify it. After that, it was googling to find out what the story was (ROC's airshow was a couple weeks ago, so they were a bit late).
I didn't have the clams to pony up a ride in the cockpit, but my father and I did go through the plane on Saturday afternoon:
