The highlight of the tour will be the appearance of
“FIFI” at the TICO Warbird Airshow, Florida
International Air Show. “Commemorative Air Force is unique,
we aren’t like other museums,” said CAF President/CEO
Stephan Brown. “We start our engines, we fly our airplanes
and we get loud, taking history to the public, not waiting for them
to come to us. “FIFI” attending these events is an
opportunity for the CAF to continue doing what we do best,
educating and reminding Americans of the cost of our
freedom.”
“FIFI” will be available for guided tours (for a
donation) and the public will be invited to purchase a ride on the
only flyable B-29 in the world. Rides can be booked in advance by
visiting the squadron website.
Living History Flight Experiences range in price from $595 to $1495
dependant upon seat location. It is encouraged to purchase Living
History Flight Experiences early, as these seats fill up
fast. Throughout the tour veterans of the U.S. Army Air Forces
and the U.S. Air Force who flew B-29s will be welcome to visit
“FIFI” with their family for no charge.
