Ironically the C-141B in the above video is now a relic itself.

I seem to remember stumbling out of the Top Of The World Club at Thule AB around 2 AM and the sun was still up. Didnt see a B-29 but there were snow foxes everywhere. :sunny:

I can't wait to see it take to the air again . " Doc " seemed to be having issues starting it's port inboard engine but I'm guessing they were settling in adjustments like air / fuel mixtures since all 4 engines are new.

Great story .

It is truly a sight to behold when these birds come back to life.

My thoughts exactly, or perhaps a few thousand pounds of incendiaries.
