    I got to see her fly in Texas a few years ago! She took off and then landed 5mins later. You could tell it was having engine issues.Nice to see her back in the air! What a beautiful bird.I have read that there was one being rebuilt and it was supposed to be the second one flying…..this was a couple years ago….but have not heard anything since. I hope to one day see five of them in formation…that would be a sight!

    As beautiful as ever! Better than new even. I saw her in SYR when I was about 10. Now I will travel to see her and her crews. Job very well done.

    Got the chance to sit in the cockpit of Fifi in Charlotte NC back in the early 90′s. What a great thrill, and great to see her flying again.

    @jolleyboy2 “take a look at sharia law before you complain about people complaining about islam.”

    What else could you possibly have meant by this? Sharia law is also not a widespread aspect of the faith. It is an extremity. If anything is Biased and Intentional it is what you said here. I don’t want yo t be anything. You’re doing that all on your own.

  9. jolleyboy2 says:

    @flyboy4692 yes you did put words in my mouth, I asked you to look up sharia law. Your speculation apon any further meaning was biased and intentional.

    as for neo nazis, i’m sorry if the example was too extreme for you. It’s obvious your wanting me to be a muslim hater or racist. It is my hope you at least got the point of what I was speaking about, but I doubt it.

    It been a long time since I was near a F-4 or an old C-47 / 707 Angle fight
    I as a child rode in both four engine and the jet jobs being an Air Force dependent.

    @jolleyboy2 I didn’t put words in your mouth. I rewrote what your comment appeared to suggest. It was more to let you take another look at what you yourself wrote. If anyones slinging mud, it appears to be you.

    As for New Yorkers? I guess you can ask me. I’m a born & raised New Yorker. I personally don’t mind and I accept that people WILL mind. But how can you compare common muslims to neo nazi’s isn’t a fair analogy. SOME muslims may not like Americans. But ALL Neo Nazi’s don’t like Israel.

    YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job people!

    @MrFtmeade Well said!! A veteran.

  18. jolleyboy2 says:

    @flyboy4692 thank you for putting words in my mouth, would you care for a discussion after your mudslinging?
    Of course I do not think that the 911 mosque will bring about sharia law!

    But do you think that makes new yorkers happy? do you think it would upset people if you allowed neo nazis to build next to the wailing wall?
    why would you build there?

    I know the majority of muslims outside of these radical nations are decent people but this mosque show really poor taste.

  19. hogey74 says:

    goosebumps.

  20. flyboy4692 says:

    @jolleyboy2 so because a mosque is being built suddenly were going to be under Sharia law? Thats a bit of a stretch, eh? I know what sharia is and even many predominantly muslim countries don’t follow it. Only the most radical (ie: Saudi Arabia, Somolia, Iran (to an extent), Syria.)

  21. Astrodoberman says:

    Very impressive – we owe that generation a huge debt. To the nay sayer who thinks we should forget them – if it wasn’t for them you wouldn’t be here

  22. NAB25JB says:

    That`s a great sight!

  23. MrIsayTheTruth says:

    Air plane going down on the way…

  24. 345dogbreath345 says:

    thats 1 glorious sight

  25. SecondStepGaming says:

    @theasimokid I can’t believe people would say such a damn thing. OVER 60 MILLION PEOPLE DIED. Go to a fucking history class and learn about WW2 maybe you’ll change your mind on how important it really is.
