If your gonna fail, do it in such a way that people will be wondering how you managed to do that.

If it cant be fixed with duct tape, it cant be fixed at all.

Here are some crappy photos from my mediocre canon point and shoot kind of camera.  I took these last year at the 2011 JSOH at Andrews Airforce Base in Maryland.

The view from the B29 pilot seats' appears very much like that of the Millennium Falcon.

Way cool.   :aok :aok

I believe that is part of the mechanism for opening and closing the bomb bay.  Not 100% sure as I took it a while back.

I'm quite surprised at the state of the corrosion beginning on that airframe. Quite a bit of bubbling/peeling paint, possibly some rust starting, especially the tunnel exterior and the interior dome picture. I would have thought as the ONLY surviving B-29 capable of flying they'd try to keep it in better shape.


P.S. No wheeled cart and cable for pulling yourself along the tunnel?

Thank you Krusty I was waiting for someone to say something about that picture.  Inside the bomb bay there were many places with corrosion and paint chipping off becuase of it.  It really doesn't seem like a safe aircraft.  That window picture is really quite gross.
