[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16473051, member: 51947"] I remember when my aunt and uncle went up in Fifi years ago. She had to crawl to the tail gunner spot as she was the only one small enough to fit through the pressurized tube that connected the forward section over the bombay, to the tail gunner station. They have one on display in Doc's hangar, in an outline of a B-29, with various stations inside the cockpit like the navigator, and radio operators statons all set up accordingly. That tube is long... kids crawl through it just a few times and get tired really quick. My cousin and I've been fortunate enough to get to fly in many old planes and meet many pilots that are no longer with us. Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes. I miss him but the past month and a half were hell for him. Seeing a loved one suffer is worse than death. I've seen both, I've had to ”pull the plug" on my mom, just 57. Both hurt but with death comes some peace. I'm sure my grandma chewed his ass when he got up there, before giving a hug. Lots of my loved ones are hopefully up there. Just weird as a 37 year old with no parents left, even my stepdad died a few years ago. You hear people complain about their mom or dad calling or sending meassages. I have all my text messages and the last voicemail with mom saved in 3 places. The things I'd do to get one more message, and know they are ok.... I just found these pictures of B-36/B-47 I had saved to share with my grandpa in the hospital (along with all the youtube videos I could find) one is a B-47, followed by a B-52, and a B-36 behind them. Finally a B-29 next to a B-36 I couldn't imagine actually seeing/hearing a "Peacemaker" flying. 6 pusher props and 4 jets, thus thier motto "6 turning, 4 burning"[ATTACH=full]1657529[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1657530[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1657531[/ATTACH] Sent from my Note9 [/QUOTE]
