WOW !! got goosebumps watching this.... I've always loved these big birds, had models when a kid , b-29 , b-17 , b-25. Father and uncle were both in WW2, uncle flew a few of theses beasts. Loved hearing him talking about them . Cannot beat the sound of a radial engine passing overhead. I guess my oneday dream, besides a garage fulla old ponchos ,would be to fly a B-25, gotta love that one, old Jimmy Doolittle got some to fly off a carrier...talk about your "can-do" attitude..lol

She is a treat to see seeing she's the only B-29 in the world that flies, and gives rides too. I've been up close and even inside when she's been at MAAM in Reading, PA for the WWII Weekend.

I got to sit in that airplane at a CAF airshow back in the '70's. I also met and got to have dinner with Col. Paul Tibbets! Heady stuff for a 13 year old airplane freak!
