Yeah, that Nova episode, "B29 Frozen In Time" got me all built up only to have me crash at the outcome. That was just plain sad...

My son and I went for a ride on FIFI last summer and it was money well spent!

Re: B29 "Doc" roll out
Fantastic! The B-17 Texas Raiders is based out of the Hooks Airport which is about 3 miles from my shop. I'm on the final for the one runway there, and I can be grinding away and hear the radials through my ear protection. I'll stop to go see it lumber overhead. I'm going to take my Dad up for a ride in it in the Spring. Thanks for posting Mike!
