FiFI is sick right now with a bad engine so I don't know if she will be at the local air show this summer. These are not original engines so the might ba a tad easier to fix than origina troublesome engines Will have to get down and see her in person

Status: offline 		Saw Fifi at Deer Valley Airport, AZ, last week. She is definitely flying (as PaxMondo noted). The only slot left was a bombardier ride for $1495 if I remember correctly. Was great to walk in the forward area, and also to squeeze through most of their B-17.

EDIT: In defense of their pricing, the guy there said it costs $10,000 an hour to fly.

Cheers,
CC
