If I remember correctly, this plane was re-done in 1958 by the Czech's. I seem to remember that on the information board. It would explain the engine change perhaps.

Inside this vehicle and the jeeps, etc. they were so simple. Speedometer and gas guage basically. Not like vehicles today with every gadget known to man. The engines were were very simple as well. Heck, even if they broke down you could find the part at a 5 and 10 store or make it yourself.

They still have radio. I guess that was general officer privilege. (antenna centered above windshield)

Yes when a car was 16 valve then it meant 8 in the engine and eight in the radio:D

I wouldn't pay 425 bucks for a ride in a B-17, but I would have gladly paid them for a ride in the P-51 :D

Nice pics...:up:

I'd hate to see how much they would charge for a ride in a B-29!:o

I'm not aware of any B-29 still flying. I certainly would like to see one operating.

the B-29 ''FiFi'' is the one airworthy...but grounded now due engine problems.
