Curious, is the Enola Gay restored to Armored specs ? These planes were a BEAST when fully plated. They were stripped of most of that when the Atomic missions were flown for weight savings.

FiFi's engines were replaced and running back in Aug of 2010. She was at MAAM June of 2011 for their WWII Weekend. Not sure about this year as I wasn't there.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
