B-29 FiFi over the ‘Eagle’s Nest’
This shot shows the aircraft following the bend in the Potomac directly above Conn Island to level out over the falls. While the Conn Island Eagle’s Nest is hidden by tree foliage, it is visible from late fall to early spring.

Images from the World War II Flyover at Great Falls: In my Own Words
In addition to my photographic work of the Great Falls area, I also volunteer as a docent at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum both downtown and at the Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles Airport. A few months ago when I learned that there was going to be a flyover of World War II aircraft to celebrate the 70th anniversary of VE Day,I immediately tried to think about where I might position myself to capture photographs of the event.
