The roar of a Boeing B-29 Superfortress rumbled across the Levittown area over the weekend.

Circa-1945 bomber FIFI was flying out of Trenton-Mercer Airport in nearby New Jersey as part of the Commemorative Air Force’s weekend visit.

FIFI was taken from a government bombing range in the 1970s and has been restored. The plane takes flights across the U.S. Canada. It has appeared in numerous movies and TV series.

The event brought a T-6 Texan, a Boeing Stearman, P-51 Mustang, and Stinson L-9 to the area.

After wrapping up the weekend event in New Jersey, the planes are off to Westfield, Massachusetts.
