The Commemorative Air Force’s B-29 Superfortress FIFI arrived at Drake Field in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on Sunday after departing Millington, Tennessee, where the organization’s AirPower History Tour was scheduled through Aug. 23.

The move lines up with the tour’s next published stop: Fayetteville’s Arkansas Air & Military Museum, where the event is scheduled Aug. 26–30. The Commemorative Air Force identifies FIFI as part of the touring historic-aircraft program, and the FAA registration identifies N529B as the B-29 held by American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum.

That makes the short transition best understood as advance positioning for the Fayetteville stop, rather than an unexplained private trip. The records do not identify anyone aboard, and this account makes no passenger claim.
