As many problems as the B-29 had-and to be able to drop the two atomic bombs on japan. Pilots fly em-mechanics keep em able to fly. With out the wrench turners-they are just big dang dust collecters. When you finally get up around a B-29 you get an idea how big they actually are. And this is a 1930s design and a 1940s build. American ingenuity at it's finest. RIDE SAFE.

Ifn ya' happen to find yourself in or around DC be sure to go to the Smithsonian (The one in the suburbs, not the one on the mall down town (Although that one's nice too)) so you can pay your respects in person... For a history buff, it's a very powerful experience to stand next to her!





(And get to see a few other impressive birds in person as well!)
