I am planning on a noon-ish arrival. FYI weather report is showing high of 72 and low of 55 with good chances of thunder storms. I still plan to show up, even if they turn me away at the gate. :airplane:

Shirt run is done. I guess TMetal is either the only other AH player going
or nobody else was interested in a specific plane/color/size. If you do go,
though, look for someone wearing one of these shirts and if it's not me
then it'll be one of the lucky few that I selected from random and they
may be able to point you my way.

:)

(Walk up and ask if I'm Arlo and give me your call-sign.)

While talking to one of the B29 flight crew, the guy mentioned that is costs about $2800 per hour just in fuel expense to fly FiFi :eek: Enjoy the photos, I have a few more of FiFi's crew area and a few of her in the air but other than that I was mainly focused on enjoying the air show rather than taking pictures.

Post by: Arlo on October 07, 2013, 03:41:01 PM: We saw her flying about the next day, as well, enroute to fetch the MIL. (Oh joy) :D
