A Beautiful Sound!

There's only one B-29 in all the world which is still flying. And it just flew past my house!


What a beautiful sound those four big radial engines make.

Just think —back during The Big One, twenty-year-old guys were flying those.

Saturday, it will leave Cedar Rapids for Appleton. On Friday, it will be on display at show center in Oshkosh.


The bad news: I didn't get a picture of the big gray bird against the white clouds. Maybe the next trip??


Yep, got some the next trip: 















And here it is on the ground.

    Keith:
    This Saturday and Sunday here in Rock Falls/Sterling is "Warbirds over Whiteside". There are over a dozen planes coming including P-51, B-25 and other WW II era aircraft. I have to be out of town for the weekend, but a couple of the planes are here already, and yes, those old engines sound great.
