She's certainly is sprightly and fast for a 65 year old lady....

Glad to see her flying again. I saw Fifi at an airshow on the 90's. I was worried they wouldn't get her airworthy again. Thank you for posting. This made my day.

Very Nice! Life's good when you're well below max gross weight! :D

Hoping to catch her at Deer Valley outside PHX enroute home from AOPA in Long Beach.

Fifi shows what a dedicated Restoration crew can do.

Looking good. Hopefully those 3350's won't start making metal and I'll see her at OSH next year.

Nice set of shots of a beautiful aircraft.

Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point..
