This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The air plane is inside (Boeing) at Boeing field in Seattle, where the major restoration is happening. A few weeks back I was at the MOF here in Everett which is about 35 miles north, and they are doing the nacelles. Those things are an example of extreme engineering! I will be down at the Seattle plant in the next few weeks if I have time I will shoot some pictures of the 29 and the Boeing B!

Funny you should ask...i'm going to see it on Thursday along with the B-17. I've been hearing some bad news that Boeing is wanting to tear down the hangars these planes are in which means they will be left outside for possibly a couple years.
Not cool, Boeing. Not cool.

I will be there on Monday to meet with there project mgr. and tour the facility. I don't think I'll be able to take photos as it is in a very top secret building. Not because of the resoration aircraft but because of the other stuff in there!! I'll report what I can.

Dave, are you going to Kansas or Washington ? if it is Kansas, that is not the plane that he was asking about.

If it's the Seattle one you can take photos. I was told to make sure to bring it.
