Call base Public Affairs Office and ask if there is some way you can arrange
to visit the aircraft. They should be happy to help - that's what they're -
public relations.

I just found out the MacDill AFB, right here in Tampa, has a B-29 on static
display. Can’t get to it, though, as it’s on the base proper and not in a
public area. Dang.

Thanks for posting! I think there is a museum for The Mighty Eighth off
of I-95 down in Florida. I've often been tempted to stop there, that
temptation is now greater.

60 of 291 planes were lost, and another 17 were so badly damaged that
they were scrapped ofter the mission. 22% of the men on the raid were
lost.
Remember today, the men of the USAAF who flow those missions and
especially those who were lost.
