Title: FiFi just flew over my house
Post by: oboe on August 28, 2021, 09:06:46 AM

Heard the rumble of WWII radials and ran outside with my binoculars.  Whatta sight!   I guess there's a Confederate Air Force event down in Denver this weekend. 

I didn't take this shot but its pretty close to what I was able to glimpse through my binocs for a few seconds as she flew over, on her way back to the show.

So great to see/hear these old aircraft flying.  Can't imagine what hundreds of them would've sounded like.

They must be giving rides, she just flew over again...

Damn that is awesome! Im with you, must have been a site to see watching 10 -15 of those bombers flying over. Those engines sounds awesome.

Saw Fifi in 2015 at the Capitol flyover:

Really makes an exceptional sound as she goes by.  I was impressed.
