Been nearly a decade since she has flown so I had to show a picture of the only flying B-29 in the world.

I always liked the look of the B29.

Nice Pics, where were you at at when you took them?

Thanks for the compliments. I was out here in Midland at the CAF AirSho they have every year. Enjoy seeing all the aircraft that flys in here.

Georgia Veteran's State Park. There's also one at Dobbins ARB in Marietta, GA. I'm not sure but there may be one at the 8th AF museum in Pooler, GA.

Kiz, I was down in your neck of the woods Monday a week ago at Reidsville. I'll try and remember to look you up when I get down to Chester and Dodge SP.

Apauc, when photographing propellor driven aircraft: Try to keep you shutter speed to 1/250th .
It will give you the propellor swirl that looks good

Explains all the CAF wing decals on the birds (exept the B-1, drat).

I am a CAF member. Anyone else? :)
