I had a real good time yesterday at the Commemorative Air Force's annual air show in Olathe, KS. Aside from the usual cool assortment of WWII and Korean War era planes, such as the C-47 transport plane seen above, they had the only flight worthy B-29 Superfortress still in existence. Fifi is an incredible plane and it was a thrill watching her fly overhead.
The CAF also has a neat museum that houses cool aviation artifacts from WWII through the Vietnam War, including flight suits and this cool pilot's handbook from the B-24 Liberator.
Perhaps the neatest thing there was this giant cake shaped like the B-29. It was mighty tempting to dig in.
The CAF puts on a great show every year and if you're interested in aviation history, it's definitely worth checking out.
