Folks...

Looking to find out if the B-29 'FiFi' was held up again for some reason or if it made the trip to Colorado for the Garfield county airshow July 8-10....some folks are saying they sent the B-24 (again) to replace it, and I see the B-25 'Show Me' is on the ramp already.....I was under the impression the B-29 was already there, but I could very well be mistaken...clarity, please?

The B-25 "Show Me" was sent by headquarters instead of "FIFI". The operations staff of the squadron took a look at the approach into Rifle, Colorado and coupled with the relatively short and narrow runway they decided that they were uncomfortable with the situation if an engine failed etc. This was compounded by the very real issue of density altitude at Rifle. This decision was made months ago.
