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

How I love pictures......................... <hintz>

Could someone offer a word as to what's going on in Lil/927 World lately, preferably with even a seriously crappy cell phone picture? Just asking for a little crumb, that's all.


:drink3: <--- to all the boys and girls who keep 'em flying!


Kurt...... Here is the latest newsletter from the B-29/B-24 Squadron....... Look at the front cover picture for a start.. "Lil" is in the background.... Read through the newsletter and there is quite a bit more on "Lil", including a very nice ATA photo from Scott Slocum on page 6.... Also there are more photos with "Lil" in the background on page 25.... HTH....

Okay geek , let me break it down...... pop2 what is the cost of an Engine, Radial, custom built combination of the Wright R-3350-95W and Wright R-3350-26WD engine, 1 each. :axe:


Gary, there are no R-3350-95W or R-3350-26WD engines on her. That's the point. She has R-3350-B29 engines, making any other comparison mute since it's a hybrid engine. :) I think Alan's numbers are about right to what I remember being posted on the B-29 thread when they were being ordered.
