That's awesome right there. Where was this at? It’s flying out of Meridianville. My dad was a crew chief on them. Loved the stories he used to tell about flying on them.

We had a "flyover" today too. Lots of abnormal activity lately.

My grandfather was part of a B-29 crew. They flew “Hump” missions out of India before getting moved to the Tinian islands. They flew enough missions to wear out one plane and get assigned to another. They were shot down at the end of the war but he survived. I have old photos of him with the crew and one of his planes that he sent home to my grandmother. From those photos I used the tail numbers to obtain the flight service records of his planes. His planes names were Fu-Kem-Al and Fu-Kem-Al-Tu.
The true mark of a man is not how he conducts himself during times of prosperity, but how he conducts himself during times of adversity.

I saw it Saturday morning. It was very cool to say the least.

You can get flight service records on most of the old decommissioned aircraft if you have a tail number. You won’t get a list of missions or anything like that but you can get records of maintenance and when it was put in service and when it came out. For instance I found where their first plane was retired as “war weary” and on what date. I joined a B29 forum and the guys on there told me how to request those records from Maxwell. It’s pretty cool looking through that stuff. The guys on the forum also knew about my grandfather’s plane and gave me some more info. That first plane flew 30 hump missions which was incredible.
