Well, I went, and turned around and came home. 36 is under construction, the signs for the airport were gone so I had hell finding it, parking was like, 3 miles away, so I said fuck it - I'll go see the bombers in Colorado Springs. They're going to be there Mon, Tues and Wed.

info?

I want to get in close because I've got this thing about making videos of planes like this starting up. Not something you get to see very often, especially a B-29. Watching from a distance, that would be like watching porn on a drive-in screen with binoculars from a nearby field.

Round engines have more character and soul than any other engine out there. And startup is when they show it the most.

Yeah, I'm dying to see those giant B-29 props swinging through and those big engines belching!
