This was taken from the President's Blog on the Commemorative Air Force website, dated
1 AUG 10:

"FIFI received its final LOA, clearing it to begin flight testing this week, which was a perfect lead in to the Press Conference announcing the The RED, WHITE AND LOUD Tour - starring Aaron Tippin and CAF's B-29 FIFI. The coverage that we have received and the buzz in the aviation AND Country Music industry has been spectacular. Aaron and I had several very productive meetings with potential sponsors and we are hopeful. We also announced the first stop, which will occur in less than a month in Denver, Colorado. (See the press release on the website for details) The Colorado Sport International Air Show (Aug 28-29) management is very excited and are promoting this event already, including the first-ever rides in FIFI, a full concert by Aaron and even a celebrity golf tournament starring Aaron."
