Aviation fans got out to tour the B-29 Superfortress 'FiFi' at Landmark Aviation on Tuesday in southwest Cedar Rapids. The aircraft, owned by the Commemorative Air Force, is the only B-29 still flying in the world. The aircraft was named FiFi after Texas businessman and World War II Army Air Corps veteran Victor Agather's wife, Josephine. Agather got the U.S. Navy to donate the aircraft to the CAF.
The aircraft will be at Landmark Aviation, 3411 Beech Way SW, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Sunday. Admission is $10 for adults,
$5 for children ages 10-17 and free for children under 10.
