Arguably, the most famous B-29 of 'em all on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center in Washington DC.

Close. They had rigged a portable generator / APU inside the fuselage, its fuel tank sprung a leak and suddenly the entire rear of the aircraft was on fire. All they could do was shut down the engines, egress the aircraft and watch it burn. :(

FiFi is in Janesville, WI this weekend on it's way to AirVenture.

Looks like a good showing with a B-25, B-17, P-51, C-45 and T-6 Texan at the regional airport for 3 days.
