The Commerative Air Force comes to San Diego

For the last three days, the CAF, came to Brown Field with several of their planes including "FiFi", the last Boeing B-29 Bomber still flying. She was accompanied by a P-51 Mustang called "Man O War", a C-45 Commando named "Bucket of Bolts", and a T-6 Trainer.

The CAF changed their name recently from Confederate Air Force to the Commerative for Political Correctness. The group has several chapters throughout the Country including "Air Group One", stationed at Gillespi Field in El Cajon.

I spent a small part of all 3 days, shooting these planes, with Monday's arrivals, later back towards evening for a softer light photo shoot, back on Tuesday for the Mustang flying customers around, and then back on Wednesday for more shots of "FiFi" taking off and landing.

If your unfamiliar with History, it was a B-29 that dropped both of the Atomic bombs on Japan, bringing a quicker end to that bloody war. By dropping the bombs, while sadly thousands were killed, millions were saved by ending the war, when Japan realized they would be wiped out with this new weapon of mass destruction.
