HEY, now that’s really cool!

There’s just no substitute for the sound of those big radial engines.

The Collings foundation brings their birds out here to Buchanan Field [CCR] once in awhile, and I’ve enjoyed climbing around in them; it’s like climbing into history itself. But that B-29 is something else, again.

Thanks for sharing!

They are a great looking bird ,aren’t they. (?)
Good to see another one return to the skies.

Our Lancaster has been fixed, but the Vulcan is now ‘permanently’ grounded with low airframe time remaining.
They have been joined by a Canberra and a soon to the flying Victor.
