Worst picture ever, I know. I saw a couple of these flying around at Warren up in Cheyenne around August 3rd.

Well, shit. Yours blow mine out of the water, as usual. I'll just toss in a couple action shots.

Looks like you were there on Saturday?
I went out Saturday evening after the CAF packed up and headed out to the hotel. Then back out Sunday morning at the crack of dawn. Pretty fun on both visits!
Friday afternoon, took a half day from work to go see them. Gunfighter and Bucket of Bolts had just arrived while I was on Fifi's flight deck.
You guys are killing me, I really wanted to make it out there. Magazine quality stuff Quib. Ridge, you're shots are great, nice subject framing and motion. When you can look at a picture of an airplane and hear an engine or two, that's good!
I was a volunteer at Lowry AFB when they acquired a B-29 from China Lakes and needed help putting it back together. It was cold and wet when the tail section was put on and the wing sections were joined in the fuselage. Stacks of shipping pallets, old mattresses and a shitload of 'Axle Grease' smeared over EVERYTHING and a good fork operator made it work. It sucked but I would do it again.
When Lowry closed, the museum in Seattle (thru the USAF) acquired aircraft. It's still being restored.
That closeup picture of the running engines made me think of this.
