Take a quick tour of the plane, learn how it flies, and watch four P-51s escort the bomber to OSH.

FIFI's Flight to Oshkosh: Behind the Scenes
One lucky chap, 29 years old and flies FIFI. keep an eye around 5m 25sec when 4 x P-51 Mustangs join them in formation, sure make my cheeks tingle.

Great video. It's wonderful to see Fi Fi fly again.
What burns me is they just had to move the B-29/B-24 squadron from here in Midland to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
