Good show of the B-29. Loved the small P-38, and all the rest of them. Thanks for taking us along for the show.

Glad you enjoyed it. Fellow videographer Greg Menton shot a lot of that great B-29 footage. And yes -- how about that scaled-down P-38 homebuilt?

@@airailimages Homebuilt? That's why it looks scaled down - my fave model to build when I was a kid and remember it being bigger. Great choice/design for a project!

Never seen the B-29s, but have had a B-24, B-17, and a Conny all fly over the house. Love that 4-engine sound!!

I’m a bit north of 72 years and lived just across the street from Wright-Patterson AFB for several years as a youngster. At that time the radial engines and propellers were in their twilight years but I still recall seeing the occasional C-47, C-54, C-121 or C-124. Sure do miss those. My how the technology has changed. Great things to see in my lifetime as the technology has changed and advanced. The move from air cooled recip engines through early jets. Telephones with a rotary dail to push buttons and now cellphones. Wow!

@@topturretgunner You were one lucky guy! At 65 I'm just old enough to, dimly, remember my Dad taking me out to the local airport to watch the planes. Some were still prop driven at that time, tho the major flights usually had jets. The WW 2 planes were here for an Airshow.

My father was a USAAF B-29 navigator 1944-1945. He died in 2016 age 94. He saved and I have his original flight jacket with squadron insignia. My son and I visited (did not fly on) FIFI at Boire Field in Nashua NH in 2018. My family are Friends Of Doc.

It is always great to hear from the families of veterans. That flight jacket of your father's is a wonderful family heirloom. Thanks for watching, and for commenting.

Nice strobing effect with the propellers on Doc. The tail number makes you think; 44-69972. 70,000 aircraft ordered in that one fiscal year alone. That's pretty mind-blowing isn't it
