N4249 (cn 11547) The CAF's B-29 "FIFI" is seen here with three of its four Wright R-3350 Cyclone engines idling. Engine number 4 has just coughed to life as it spews smoke. The massive 16'7" Hamilton Standard propellers are geared down to rotate at about 1/3 engine speed, or around 300 RPM at engine idle. |

44-86408 Delivered to the USAF on 8/6/1945 - the same day that another B-29 was dropping an atomic bomb on Japan! "Hagarty's Hag" was retired in November 1953 and eventually in 1983 made its way here to the Hill Museum in pieces - its been reassembled and currently undergoing restoration after which it will be part of the indoor display. |

N4249 / A (cn 11547) Standing fire watch while "FIFI" No.1 engine is just starting. "FIFI" had just returned from filming the made for TV movie "ENOLA GAY" starring Patrick Duffy. You can still faintly see where the words "ENOLA GAY" were painted on a slant just next to the repainted word "FIFI". Became N529B in Aug 1981. |
