Any info out there on the status of this nose section: interior condition, pictures, etc.?

She was stripped out when I got her. I have since acquired a lot of interior equipment but no restoration work has been completed to date. Still looking for more parts. Do you have anything available? I have lots of trade material available.

Thanks,
Taigh

Here's a couple shots of your B-29 taken at Universal Studios back in '86:





I'm assuming it's yours, anyway; was your cockpit cut open like that before?

Hello Chris,

That's the same nose. Thanks for posting the photos. Yes it was cut up like that when I got it. I had found a partial green house section cut from a China Lake bird which helped to replace a lot of the missing structure.

Would it be possible to use your pictures on the web page?

Thanks,

Taigh

Any interior photos?

Hey Scott,

I do not have any photos of the interior and I am a few thousand miles away from the shop right now. I will try to take some when I get back. If I forget to do so, which is likely, please remind me and I will get some for you.

It is pretty rough but it is better than nothing.

Neat. I'm just curious no matter what the condition. Maybe it will generate some donations...

I think that would fit in nicely at Austin Acres.

Hi Taigh,

Sure, you can use the photos for your web page - sorry I couldn't get closer shots but Universal's security might have had an issue with me jumping off the tour tram and running across the lot!
