B-29 "Fifi" and P-51 Mustang "The Brat III" in Lexington, KY

Thanks to the Aviation Museum of Kentucky, thousands got a chance to view the nation's only airworthy B-29.  Some lucky folks paid nearly $700 for a 30-minute flight in the giant World War II bomber.







The Cavanaugh Flight Museum brought P-51 Mustang "The Brat III" to Lexington.


Those lucky enough to ride in the P-51 had to shell out nearly $2,000 for the chance!



A U.S. Airways' Bombardier Canadair regional jet dwarfs "The Brat III" as the P-51 returns to the Aviation Museum of Kentucky ramp while the CRJ taxis to the runway.
