Exactly correct. This is the #4 engine nacelle of FiFi, the only flight certified B-29 in existence. However, another is being restored to flying condition by volunteer Boeing employees and veterans.

My regards,

Funny you brought that up, I saw that very engine last weekend. BTW, the B-29 isn't as big in person as it looks in pics

FIFI was suppose to do a fly over during the opening cermonies for the NASCAR race in Dover last week-end. Could not because of the low ceiling.
