The best view is from the pilot's seat. B-29 landing, a wild ride. What a beauty! #ww2 #aviation #space #engineering #technology #innovation #aerospace #defense #defence
If you are in Colorado, visit the Pueblo, Colorado Weisbrod Aircraft Museum. We have a B-29 in our museum hangar. $10 / $8 vets & seniors. Kids under 7 free. We have around 35 aircraft including an F-15 & F-16, videos and a lot of artifacts. Great gift shop. If you want a baseball cap, we have around 2 dozen embroidered hats $20. You might even get to chat with a docent who flew in the Iranian Hostage Rescue mission.
Think what that would be like shot up. Tail held to main fuselage with harnesses linked together fuel leaks etc, engine faults and the instruments where not that standard and the fog is set in. These folk had standards way beyond we can imagine sadly eroded by lawyers and politicians who are paper shuffling twits. It is these twits that send good men and woman to war whilst they talk, drink and eat themselves silly at the cost of good honest people and set the world on fire. But for sure would not be seen dead with such people or care one bit for them. But fantastic that folk keep this beauty flying and remind us what some folk have to do when freedom is at stake.
That’s a lot of steering to keep that beast straight
What a warbird!! But not exactly fingertip steering though 🤣 love these WWII planes!
What controlled the thrust levers during the flare? Retro-fitted autothrust….? And if so, what else is it used for?
That’s a lot of “play” in the yoke. I’m surprised it didn’t over correct.
