FIFI, the Commemorative Air Force's Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, will visit Deer Valley and Mesa Gateway Airports. This B-29 is the only remaining Superfortress in the world still flying.

The tour moves to Mesa Feb. 26 where the airplanes will be on display at Gateway Aviation Services, 5803 S. Sossaman Road, through Sunday, March 1.
Accompanying aircraft include the B-25 Mitchell Maid in the Shade, a C-47 Skytrain, a C-45 Expeditor, an SNJ (T-6), and a PT-17 Stearman. Visitors may tour the B-29 cockpit and purchase rides in all of the airplanes.
