Fifi was here 7 years ago, a week and a half after July 4th, 2014. Had a nice walk-through tour of the cockpit and forward section. Couldn't crawl down the pressure tunnel over the bomb bay to the rear, just got to look.

The next-to-last photo is just before startup to leave the following Monday. The fire trucks were on hand should something go amiss during startup.

I also have video of the startup - lots a of smoke and a backfire or two. What a production that was! The video files are rather large - probably too big to attach here.

What a machine!!

My uncle in the 315th mentions flying some of those PW supply drop missions, although he mentions long cylinders that sort of conform to the bomb bay, I'll have to look that up in his diary now.
