Chance encounter with a B29

I was out photographing some of the critters at a friend's farm just south of Knoxville, IL last summer, August 23, 2018, when I heard a multiengine prop sound passing overhead. By the time I spotted the source of the sound, appreciated what I was seeing and remembered I had a camera in my hands it was already past me. I zoomed out to maximum and fired off several frames. This was the sharpest. Below is a cropped and color corrected image. A pilot friend later told me this was "Doc", one of two B29's still flying. It was on its way to an air show in Michagin.

You got the aluminum overcast quite nicely 
Could be... I was taking my friend's word for it being Doc.

It is Doc. Your zoom shows the logo, the red dwarf on the nose.
That's good. I would hate to think my Texas pilot friend was wrong about which plane was passing through my part of the world.
