Two new videos coming soon.
It’s been several months since I last posted a new video. Well I have TWO that will be coming soon.  The first one is footage of the B-29 FiFi at Spirit of St. Louis Airport.

I mean, its a pretty cool sight to see planes do tricks under the arch who would not want to see that? Performers wise, this year was a major step up from the last.
