And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
We did have one of these fly over Ottawa on its way to an air show in Gatineau a few years back. It makes an incredible sound and really is "the aluminum sky". Steve_in_Ottawa
Fifi will be travelling around the Midwest for the next few months, including EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh. The tour dates were delayed because two of her engines had to be rebuilt. Incidentally, each engine is named after a Hollywood actress. They are Mitzi (Gaynor), Betty (Grable), Rita (Hayworth) and Ingrid (Bergman). Betty and Mitzi had to be rebuilt.

I've heard it fly by a few times. Once at the airport in Addison Texas, and a couple of times at the air show in Harlingen Texas.
