Nice soundtrack I wonder what the hourly bill on that thing is? Or what it costs to fill those big tanks. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the 29 that languished at Oakland airport for years back in the 70's and maybe 80's? It wasn't FIFI. I heard it sold and lost a motor on the way out. Came back and got the motor repaired then left for good.
Hopefully 'DOC' will join 'FIFI' this year... maybe by Oshkosh. It's close to being ready. http://www.warbirdsnews.com/category/warbird-restorations/b-29-doc Read somewhere a 29 went through 55 gallons of oil on each long-range bombing sortie in WWII.
