If you scroll down to the bottom of the page in Abandoned Plane Wrecks of the North website, there is a photo link of the B-29 Kee Bird wreckage in Greenland as seen last year (2008).

Shame it is still there. :? Hopefully someone will take care of her one of these days. (And keep the Greenland govt happy)

Unfortunetly there are a handful of B-29 projects that would be easier to restore closer to home, rather than recovering what is left of KB. (Finish up Doc, Fertile Myrtle, AeroTrader...)

Is it possible to get any of the wrecks up in Canada featured on the link that is provided? A lot of DC-3s, and a few C-46 that would be nice sitting in a museum.
