The Hell Diver I saw on display, is the only flightworthy example of that plane.  If I had the scratch, I'd fly in it.  Those markings for the USS Franklin really are compelling.

But damn, if something happened to it . . .

Wikipedia lists 21 complete b-29 airframes in existence.   Some would likely be suitable for restoratiom to flyable condition if one of the current flyable planes becomes permanently unflyable for whatever reason.
