B29 with 500 pounders. Looks like he is checking the wires to the tail-arm fuzes.

He may be clipped to a safety cable at his left belt line.
Doors could be open based on the light below. Just my opinion, may be interpreting the pic incorrectly. ![]()

Some good news about B-29s.
There soon will be another flying the skies to join FiFi, the only surviving B-29 currently in flight status. "Doc" has been undergoing restoration in Wichita since 2000 when she was rescued from the China Lake bombing range. Doc's Friends - Restoring History |

Is it just me, or do the 'insert image' and other icons not work any more?
