MIDLAND--The World War II B-29 aircraft named "Fifi" made its way to the CAF Friday, for the upcoming weekend Airshow. The bomber plane is by far the largest attraction in terms of size that will be at the airshow.
Out of all the war era planes, Fifi is the only one still in service and is actually being flown. This year at the CAF Airshow, will be the first time the bomber has been manned by a crew ranging in ages below 40 years old. Typical ages begin at 40. This year, the team is made up of women and men between the ages of 28 and 39.
When Fifi landed near the Midland airport, local bankers and more got a chance to take a ride on the historic plane.
