I came across this picture today. I'm the young handsome guy in the middle. This sophisticated war machine was my prep for flying FIFI.

So, how similar was the KC-97 to fly vs. the B-29? Other than having different engines, are they pretty similar? I would love to hear your comments comparing the two.

Handsome?!?!?! (Barf!!!!!) I guess all pilots say that. :wink:

Airlift48,
b29driver and I teach B-29 (FIFI) ground school. I tried once to teach him FE stuff, but.... he said we have to do to much work.

He does know how to fly though, very well!
