Some B-29 notes & questions:

What was the last date that Kermit's B-29 (N29KW, 45-21787) flew? I have something about an aborted flight attempt in 1984. Can anyone provide photos of her when still with American Air Museum, then in Oakland, and airwiorthy? Is Kermit's crew working on this restoration at all?

"Doc" now has registration number N69972 to partially match its serial. Registered owner: BOMBER FORCE INC, SOUTH EUCLID, OHIO

The FAA Registry site:
http://162.58.35.241/acdatabase/acmain.htm

lists N70887 as 45-21768 with Kee Bird Limited Liability Company, Ocala, FL.
The Kee Bird also was documented in places as being 45-21763. Which serial is correct?

The WRG Registry here says two B-29s "Mission Inn" and "Raz 'n Hell" were both "Delivered to USAAF as 44-61535"
I think that is correct for "Raz 'n Hell" but not the other. Is 44-61669 the true identity of this "Mission Inn"?

Thanks,

Lowell Thompson
