This fully restored "bomber" leaves the ground on its way to the first of many air show destinations. As the "Sky Queen" looks back, she gives a wink to the many who made this flight possible!

Great Shot! What type of Bomber is that?

it's a B-29

It seems that this B-29 has faired better than the one that Daryll Greenamyer tried to recover from the frozen tundra of Greenland and wasn't successful.....one crew member lost and one B-29 lost

Its called "Frozen In Time". I am not sure if you can get it at a local library or not but it is definetely worth buying...

Hey your shots are good but could you save them and put them out at different times?  Because you are flooding the site and no body else can get replies or their shots seen.

Thanks

Hey football what the heck are you talking about. I upload when I can!!! It is here and there. I havn't even been around for a week so sorry!!! Flooding the site?- my pics are all within guide lines. I don't even have High speed so I guess we are both in the same boat.....I mean plane!
Guess you will have to wait!!

sweet plane, and yes....i saw the documentary on TVO (TV Ontario) and i cried my eyes out at the end!!!! it was unbeliebable

nice shot there just one wee observation, i dunno if its just me but the insignia under the wing looks upside down

asides from that it is realy nice....and btw, i heard that there is only one B-29 in flyable condition in the world..... is it true???

Ace, you may be referring to FIFI ....I believe its a B-29 owned and flown by the Confederate Air Force in Texas ? ....I saw it fly on several occasions a few yrs back but haven't seen it lately........

...about that USAF logo....I have never seen one point backwards either.........Hmmmmmmm.....

Excellent shot
