They found this one somewhat intact out in the CA desert waiting its turn to be a ground target. Just East where I used to live. It appears this one may be special in that it was a late war or post war built Bell Silver Plate version?
Years ago I paid big bucks to ride in the back seat of a Cavalier P51 Mustang and a short noisy smelly windy ride in a B17. If I had the money today, another short expensive ride in that B29 would be soosss cool. I am old.
At that Mojave CA air show years ago also got to shake General Yager's hand. Also Bob Hoovers. Those were the days.
Also got to ride several times in a DC3. Also as a young kid as a passenger in a Super Connie. Still distinctly remember the smoky flames during the engine start. Big 3350 turbo compounds. Long ago, far away. Good memories.
