B-29's almost take on a different look when they are NMF. I wish the MoF would donate their B-29 to a museum that would display it...at least until the day comes that they decide to build a proper facility for it (if they ever get to that point...).

Easy deal, break out your wallet, pay for the disassembly and crating, rent the tractor and support vehicles and escort people-GUARANTEE it comes back. oh yeah, get somone to cough up the financing for the building, then find the available dirt on KBFI.
The airplane is here partially because I got in Richard Utterstroms shorts chiding him years ago about sending a B-29 the England, where we all know of it's distinguished war record but not having one for the birthpalce of strategic bombardment. Getting it was about the ONLY positive thing Buttafuco did while he was at the MoF.

Yep, it looks like a Superfort-shaped marshmallow, sitting off to the side of the entrance of the MoF.
Now that the Shuttle trainer stuff is mostly squared away, I sincerely hope eventually they'll be looking to build at least a cover over this and the B-17 which is sitting out in the open.

I thought they found hangar space for the B-17 after it was "evicted" from the Boeing assembly bldg.

I saw it yesterday, still sitting outside in its white cocoon.
