I was browsing the web and found this "Walk Around" video of CAF's "FIFI".



and I found this Video, Really good video better than anything I took while at the Air Expo, of the B-29 "FIFI" Taxiing, Taking Off and Landing.



Then I found this great video of someone flying in the cockpit of "FIFI", ramp start, Taxi, Take Off, Flight and Landing.. WOW very cool in my Opinioin.
