Southern Illinois Airport, B-29 & P-51 fly-in, Today; 18-6-12

[54reo]

I know it is short notice, but I believe this was just recently organized.

"Fi-Fi" and a P-51 escort will be flying in to the Southern Illinois Airport at Carbondale Il today around 1600 hours.

I will be leaving work early today...

Awesome. Fi-fi is a pretty rare sight, and nothing sounds like those four massive CW 3350s. Share the photos!
