The world's only flying WWII Boeing B-29 Superfortress comes in to land at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles. The WWII bomber will be on display and perform flight tours this week at the airport.

She was in Tucson about two years ago when I was still there. Crawled all through it and it's very cool
on the inside, and then watched them change one of the props on a B-17 that had problems.
It was a really great day, the "Confederate" Air Force had 4 planes there that day.
But didn't go for a ride in B-29, it's $595 to $1595, depending on where you want to sit....... :shock:
It seems like a lot until you consider it is probably a once in a lifetime thing, and can you imagine
how much av-gas those 4 radials suck up.
But I just didn't have the funds at the time.... :(


Link has about 130 photos of that day........
