You are absolutely correct, I should have phrased my comment differently. Kind of like telling my wife she is wearing a nice dress as opposed to telling her she looks great in that dress... I would love to have the full resolution version of this picture of FiFi. Here Tis, right from the camera. |

Back in the 80s my son and I got to tour Fifi at Peachtree-Dekalb Airport. The inside is less beautiful, but more impressive. We didn't get to see her fly. Back then CAF was "Confederate Air Force". I guess the PC police overwhelmed them. She was with the Dixie Wing. Wonder what they call it now? Bob |

'Fifi' spent some time at Paine Field WA last summer for its mid-season mechanical checks; first time I've seen her in the Pacific Northwest since the 1980s. Managed to get sprung from heart rehab center long enough to see her... Bob ^,,^ |
