Hi shrandell,

I showed your pictures to Mr. Boomer. He said it is hard to tell, but he has Oshkosh pictures of B-29s on his phone and he is looking at them now. (I am sorry that I don't know how to get those pictures on here, but maybe twoplane has pictures, too.)

You might have seen one of only two B-29s that are flying now.

Here's Mr. Boomer........

FIFI and Doc (of the 7 Dwarfs) are the only 2 B-29s that have been restored to airworthy condition. They flew at Oshkosh together for the first time a couple weeks ago. At first glance I thought your picture was of a B-17, also a 4-engine WWII bomber, but I'm starting to think it's one of the B-29s.
