There is a B-29 bomber visiting my city. one can go see it for a couple weeks (I think) and even take a ride on it. (no thanks) That is the same kind of bomber that dropped the bomb on Hirashima. wars are terrible. it was flying over my house and i captured it. I just happened to have my camera with me taking pictures of flowers in my yard.

If I'm not mistaken that's the only B29 in flying condition left. Good photo.

That looks like Doc, a recently restored B29. It is the 2nd one flying.
Or it is FIFI little hard to tell from the picture without downloading.
Never the less, you got a great shot.

Good to know; I'm glad there was another one that was restorable.

Looks like FiFi to me from what I hear they both are flying right now. Bob

Idont know anything about it but it has been flying around for a couple days now, I thought it really looked neat and was glad to be able to get a picture. I don't know how to fix things to allow download. Just wanted to share
