B-29 "Kee Bird"

Auto Credit Based on SimpleFlow's B-29 Superfortress (updated)

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on as much, but I just wanted to upload this. Credit goes to SimpleFlow, who made the plane. I have permission from him, so don't freak out.

The Kee Bird was a United States Army Air Forces Boeing B-29 Superfortress, serial 45-21768, of the 46th Reconnaissance Squadron, that became marooned after making an emergency landing in northwest Greenland during a secret Cold War spying mission on 21 February 1947. While the entire crew was safely evacuated after spending three days in the isolated Arctic tundra, the aircraft itself was left at the landing site. It lay there undisturbed until 1994, when a privately funded mission was launched to repair and return it. The attempted recovery resulted in the destruction and loss of the airframe by fire on the ground.

Also, I have an upcoming project later in the week, so stay tuned!

    Nice topical post, reminds me of that top gear arctic challenge when they came across a crashed C-47. Wonder what the story was with that, could be another future build.....
