Yeah, I saw the show about that B-29. What a cool looking plane. IIRC, it was one of the best preserved they'd found anywhere. I believe some major human sacrifice went down on that one, and that was before the burning up on attempted take off.

Oh well. Sometimes people get a fever for something that consumes them. But then, the victories do seem cool. OTOH, some of these guys lost their marriages in bringing such planes back. Who knows...
