A Restored Classic

Postby Fly2e » Tue May 20, 2003 1:23 pm

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!

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 :)
