Yes, I was lucky enough to go see here. She is shiny and beautiful. Hanging in the air like a plane was meant to be.
Bockscar, the Nagasaki bomber is in Dayton, ohio at the USAF museum. Nagasaki was a backup. The primary was Kokura. It was avoided due to weather conditions. Anything that could go wrong, did go wrong on the Nagaski flight. A fuel pump broke on Bockscar, which meant they couldn’t use one of their bomb bay tanks. The recon/photo planes missed the rendevous. Kokura was obscured by cloud. Bockscar wnt through several passes before dropping the bomb because the weather at Nagasaki was iffy as well. Finally, Bockscar landed on Okinawa instead of Tinian, literally running on fumes.
