Wow, that was impressive! There's no way I'd fit in that B-29.... My brother once took me up over the Hudson River (with the sun glistening on the little waves--a gorgeous day) in his tiny Piper Cherokee and told me he'd prove that a plane would continue to glide even without the engine running by turning it off, taking out the key, and handing it to me. I told him (a little nervously...) that if he did that, I'd put the key in my mouth and swallow it. Knowing he, he made a wise choice NOT to do it!!!
