For those of you that love flying you’re going like this video…especially, when the Mustangs join up.

I was lucky enough to see FiFi several years ago in Topkea KS. Wonder if the plane was born here in KS.

Thanks for the link. I've actually been lucky enough to spend a few days turning wrenches on her. Did a few engine runs and taxi tests. What an airplane!

It's great that the CAF keeps Fifi and all those other birds in the air.

What amazes me is the extreme control surface inputs to keep her on track and particularly the initial roll out with no directional control (up to about 60 KIAS) other than the F/E yawing the aircraft with the outboard engines to keep her centered.
