: 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 matc
: h its serial. Registered owner: BOMBER FORCE INC, SOUTH EU
: CLID, OHIO
:
: The FAA Registry site:
: http://162.58.35.241/acdatabase/acmain.htm
:
: lists N70887 as 45-21768 with Kee Bird Limited Liability C
: ompany, 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 recall that the Mission Inn is/was a B-29 owned by Dave Tallichet and was flown to a museum in CA and then kept on static display only. It seems like it was March Field or something... any confirmations?
