It's a real shame what happened to the Kee Bird when they tried to recover it from Greenland. All that effort up in smoke as they were getting ready to take off.

this one made me really sad



B29 "Kee Bird" crashes in Greenland in Feb 1947. Found in 1990's, rehabbed on site, ready to fly out, and it catches fire: Kee Bird - Wikipedia

This is a pic of a H model, last of the B-52's. If you were on the ground during Desert Storm you would have seen this from G models we were sending there.

The B-52 is an historically fascinating plane, as well as one beautiful bird!
