walker450 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) The B-29 "FiFi" stopped in Oklahoma City this week. I live about 45 miles east. I had some spare time before work (I am on night shift this weekend, 5pm-5am) on Friday so I stopped by the airport to check out a Superfortress for my first time. The was a WWII veteran just ahead of me on the flight deck of the 29. When we got down he was telling war stories. He was a gunner on a TBF Avenger. Long story short, I bought him the last ticket available for the B-29! He got to fly Saturday morning. His wife contacted the local paper and they done an article. Here is the link: Stranger treats Oklahoma City veteran to dream flight in B-29 One of the pictures shows Mr. Wheeler and I talking. My friend John is to me left, and my wife Kendall is in the background. Here are a couple pics off of my phone: Edited October 7, 2012 by walker450 added pics 1 Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
