OK I know of the shock wave b-29 that is 5+ years old could we have a fully accusimed b-29 with the same depth and quality of the b-17 also possibly The H-4 which would be awesome as anything

Perhaps a line of "ProllyAccu-Sim" expansions could be introduced under the Aircraft Factory label? :P

Here is a great video of the attempt to save a B-29 in the deep artic circle area of Greenland....
This is the story of the B-29 Keebird.

:lol:

Yeah, only one was built, and flown as many times as there are examples. An amazing airplane, and to think that 66 years later, not another airplane has yet acheived that great wingspan of the Hercules, which was powered by good ol' internal combustion. If anybody ever makes a full-size flying replica, I'm sure that would be an amazing feat.

Just thought I'd add my own voice to the B-29 plea. Other than a native FSX Lancastrian by Ed Walters, the Superfort is the four engined prop I'd love to see most.

Aren't there still some B-29s to be had at China Lake - or at least enough parts to make up one or two statics ? The ones deemed fit to restore to flyable condition have long since gone. 'Doc' was the last of those, I believe.
