LOL, went to the airport today to see the classic aircraft (assuming Thursday would be way less busy than Saturday). The B-29 was there and got a good look in the bomb bay and some time in the cockpit. They were doing some maintenance work on it and got to see a technician in the cockpit flipping switches to checkout some of the equipment on engines #3 and #4.
-and-
noticed their SB2C Hell Diver was painted in honor of being assigned to the carrier Franklin. Oh poo! Not going to ride it this year, but had I known, it would have been a tough call with the B-29. The Hell Diver can only take (it looks like) 1 passenger at a time, and it's very nearly as pricey as the B-29 ride. But wow, it looks like fun.
The cockpit of the B-29 is surprisingly roomy, I expected it to be really tight on clearances, but it's easy to get around in. And there is a really intense industrial vibe to it, wires, and cables, and pipes and equipment abound. They even have a coffee pot.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
