Well, there's a certain amount of truth there. Who is going to check you out?

Ha! All the prep and procedures for starting a 3350 is time consuming and...well...compli cated!!

:-)

 No worries , stood behind the FE more than once during start up on a KC97 , didn't look all that hard  :laugh:

The historical emphasis on the weapon carried has overshadowed what a engineering marvel the B-29 was,...light-years of advanced design and development crammed into a few short years....remarkable aircraft!  :bow:

The Soviets kept a few B-29 and reversed engineered (Tu-4). It would have been interesting to get feed back from the guys that did the reverse engineering and their opinions on how Boeing built it.

It is my understanding that more money was spent and the overall project was about as complicated at the Manhattan project. Concerning Soviet reverse engineering, I have read (maybe an urban myth) the first one done included dents and all from the captured B-29 because Stalin wanted it "copied".

What a beautiful machine!  It is difficult to believe anything that sleek is now over 70 years old.
