Airplane Pics

[Ridge]

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.

Thanks for the kind words, sir.
