First time in more than 60 years that more than one B-29 has been aloft.

That's really cool.

I was privileged to check out a B-29 from the inside back when our local Flight Museum first got it in house.

I took my kids and they have a ball although they don't remember it now. :)

I also got to speak at length with a pilot that flew them in WW2, but his name now escapes me.

These machines were way ahead of their time during their time!

Pictures I snapped before it was restored-->

The photo below is after the complete restoration sans flight-worthy. They did a good job!
