Bomber Glacier

Wed Apr 20, 2011 3:03 pm

While I was looking for B-29 photos I came across some photos on airliners.net with photos of wreckage of a B-29 on Bomber Glacier. Does any one know where Bomber Glacier is, and has anyone tried to salvage the wreckage and does anyone know any info about this B-29? If I ever find myself in Alaska, I'd like to go visit it since it has my interest.

I was so excited, that as soon as I found out about it I posted it here. Isn't there a name for that sort of behavior, "Excititis warbirditis"? Now to go to my doctor and get a prescription for it. I did find out about it after I posted. Thanks and my apologies.

Would you have to specify the daily dose T-3 or the infrequent T-6 hardness specifications while talking with your Doctor? :roll:

"If you have the hardness for 4 or more hours see your doctor." Why would I want to do that? :shock:
