lake mead B-29.
« on: January 13, 2011, 07:16:38 PM »
i know this is an OLD story, but i recently just started to read about it, the last article i got about the subject states that a federal judge was going to decide who keeps the b-29 found at the bottom of lake mead. does anyone else have any information as to what happened to her?

I raised it in 2281 so the boomers could help me at the battle of Hoover Dam.

Noone can raise it until then

i heard that too. theres a rumor about a boomers area 51 DLC coming out. the storyline is basically the boomers are running low on bombs/mortar shells, so they fly you to area 51 to scavage for more.while there your supposed to find other aircraft for them to want to fly (including the aurora). this is backed up by a short 20 sec video that got leaked to the internet, which showed the player running into an open hanger that had what looked like an sr-71 blackbird parked to the side, then this MASSIVE sized aircraft in the middle, the player then walked up to loyal who was standing by it in which he called the aircraft the "aurora". sadly tho the vids erased off youtube and other video websites i usually check for game info.

It's considered a historical site protected by the park service if memory serves.  It's not going anywhere.  Considering "Doc's" restoration has about come to a halt, and keeping FiFi in the air is a minor miracle by the CAF, the idea of raising it and restoring it, and the reality are two different things sad to say.

that really sucks. i was hoping the divers(the finders) would win ownership of it, so they could raise &restore it like they were wanting too.  :(
