B-29 FiFi Superfortress Of the 3,970 B-29s that were built FiFi is the last one that is still flying. This shot, taken from the third overlook in Great Falls Park, shows the plane leveling out as it passed directly overhead.

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.
