Yeah that story is a sad one. They worked hard to get her ready to fly but were in a bit of a hurry. The APU fuel tank came lose, caught fire and burned the plane in half.



There are other sad stories of B-29s, like the Lady of the Lake in Alaska.


Here are more than 600 B-29 at Davis Monthan in 1946.

My "new to me" tool chest. I helped a neighbor organize her garage and she gave me this as well as a brand new Starrett digital dial guage.

I attached the casters and replaced the crapped out floor, mounted my grinder on the end, and cleaned it up. I am going to use it for my car cleaning gear. The 20 foot extension cord will come in handy for power tools.
