somebody quick, Fred needs O2!
I'm sure she'll fly in on Fri the 23rd. Ought to make another fun weekend.
Strange time of year though, no holiday attached to it.
Fred's going to need CPR!!! I'd love to fly her but that's a bit out of my range right now. Def gonna be there to see her go off!Originally Posted by lijk604
Great post Chris. I will go shoot her but I am not paying to fly her. That money is better used toward my D200! :mrgreen:

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Fifi is grounded due to engine problems..... NO SHOW! I am very sad.

thats pretty steep we only charge 400 bucks for the B-17,which should be out Ny way this summer, along with the C-47 at TEB this August. Unfortunately engine problems are the bane of Warbirds existence,and the B-29s Wright engines are not the most reliable round engines out there.
The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!
The difference between a B-17 and the 29 is that there are lots of
flightworthy 17's out there. I took a trip on the B-17 Aluminum Overcast
a few years back and you can see MANY shots of my adventure here

The B-29 was unable to take fare passengers up until this year due to the
insurance and the Navy. Yes, the Navy is the owner because it was on a
bombing range until it was rescued and restored. The aircraft cost many
times more to fix than a B-17 because there are so few of this type and
only one Flyable.
Lets see if anyone can spot waldo!

its also a lot less mechanically reliable than the B-17, always was,the B-29 is a great ship, but I will take the belle of the 8th AF any day,besides ,the Fortress has a tailwheel !
