I heard these planes approaching my house, and grabbed my camera as the engines sounded unusual. I'm sure one of our Fly Boys will be able to name the plane type, I have no idea

I think the one on the left is a B-29 because the wings appear longer than a B-17.
Can't really tell what the one on the right is, but it is low wing and doesn't look to be military They possibly could be returning from Oshkosh air show! After a little more research, the one on the right looks to be a T-28 Trojan trainer! Last edited by Fredster; 08-09-2017 at 06:57 PM. Reason: Added copy |

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. Last edited by Boomer; 08-09-2017 at 08:03 PM. |

Both Doc and FIFI should not be in Florida at this time. So, it's more than likely a B-17. If I could hear the sound of the engines I could tell for sure. It was a rare treat to see both fly this year at Oshkosh with my son and two grandsons.

The unusual sound you heard was a "radial engine". Love that powerful sound.
