Peachy

B-29A 44-62022 Peachy at the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum

Serial number 44-62022 is currently on display inside the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum and is named in honor of all the crews who fought in the Pacific Theater. A B-29 by that name was piloted by a native of Pueblo, Lt. Robert T. Haver, who gave it his pet name for a younger sister. The original Peachy flew 35 combat missions into enemy territory from Tinian Island in the Marianas islands chain in the central Pacific. This aircraft was donated to the museum in 1976 by the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, CA and in 2005 it was moved indoors.

I live pretty near that museum, it's a really cool place and I go whenever I can. They sometimes let you go up into the cockpit of the B-29, it's pretty cool. Very good view out the front.
