B 29 Superfortress FIFI Cockpit in Flight, Approach, and Landing Loveland Ft Collins, CO 7 24 14

FIFI, The Commemorative Air Force s B29 Superfortress visited Loveland, Ft Collins, CO in July 2014. We had the good fortune to get a ride in the cockpit and got to watch the crew at work landing. Some additional info based on Comments: The B29 cockpit was the basis for the design of the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars. The guy sitting at the huge control console is the Flight Engineer. He s controlling all aircraft functions except the landing gear and the flight controls controlled by the pilot s control column. Everyone was belted in for takeoff and landing.
