VIDEO: World War II bomber lands in Tulsa, tours, flights offered

The Commemorative Air Force Boeing B-29 Superfortress 'FIFI' will be on display at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum this weekend.

Visitors will have the opportunity to take an inside tour of the massive four-engine bomber that helped end World War II.

88-year old Tulsa attorney Warren Morris flew 34 missions in the B-29 in the Pacific.

He was on hand when the historic bomber landed at Tulsa International Airport Thursday morning.

Morris spent the morning posing for pictures and speaking with visitors about his war experiences.

FIFI is the only flying B-29 in the world and was the airplane that dealt the final blows to the empire of Japan bringing the war to an end.

In addition, World War II-era aircraft from the Commemorative Air Force will be joining FIFI throughout the weekend, including a North American P-51 Mustang and a Beechcraft C-45 Expediter.

Flights on these three aircraft may be booked during the three days of their Tulsa visit or in advance online at www.cafb29b24.org.
