If this has been posted before ooops!I didn't see it the first time. May Old Doc keep on a flyin for all time. I'd like to see a plaque of all the
WWII B29 pilots mounted onboard in memory of but in anycase extremely happy to see that another one is flyin like they should be.

When I saw your title I thought the post would be about the B-17, Flying Fortress. The B-29 was known as the Super Fortress.

- There is a static B-29 at the wonderful air museum at Chino Airport, in SoCal.

Way back in the day, I flew in a DC-7 once; even a civilian airplane with reciprocating engines was unpleasant because of the vibrations - flying in a B-29 couldn't be much "fun", and the constant vibrations must make maintenance a real chore.
