Even though the CAF has traditionally liked being 'the only circus in town' at any event, it's a given that there's a massive push to have them fly Fifi with Doc at some point. Such a shame that it couldn't happen at Oshkosh this year (which is going on right now). I think we'd all love to be at the photo line when those two come roaring past, alongside one another!
Anyone remember the debacle of the of those clowns who tried to get that B-29 out of Greenland but wound up destroying it in place (not to mention the mechanic who died during the attempt)? Their plan was to first show it at Oshkosh that year, but the funny thing is a pal of mine was on the Base commander's staff at that time and he's adamant that it
never would have left Thule except in crates.
