Re: Fifi b29 clue needed
I was in the V.O.S. at the time and FiFi did like three laps...cutting all laps short between pylons 4 and 6 or 7.. I believe it was escorted by two P-47s or one P-47 and Air Biscuit???
I remember how slow 200 mph looked as they flew over us at 200 feet....
Somewhere I had a video...but it might be lost...

I've been without an "office" for several years after moving from downtown Long Beach (WA) to a condo overlooking the ocean in Seaview (WA) consequently, most of my paperwork has been in absolute disarray.. I now am in the process of converting what was the second bedroom in my condo, into an office..

Re: Fifi b29 clue needed
Hello everyone,
I am asking for some help in acquiring a video of Fi Fi and Diamond Lil rounding the pylons.
There is only a short clip that I could find on YOUTUBE.
I was contacted by a friend that knows the pilot that was flying Diamond Lil when this event occurred back in 1997.
I was told that the pilot of FI FI was this pilot's Dad.
I was asked if I could help finding a copy of this event.
I have had no luck in tracking down a copy of the SKYFIRE video.
I came here to the message board and did a search of "FI FI" and "Plyons" to see if anything came up.
This thread from a couple of years ago was all I could find.
Can anyone help me obtain a copy of FI FI and Diamond Lil flying the course from 1997?
Thanks and best Regards!
