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!

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