BTW, the rudder original attach arms that were on "Jack's Hack" have been on the "Kee Bird" up in Greenland. "Kee Bird's" were damaged and NEAM made a trade with Darryl so they could attach the rudder to the B-29. Also, the A-26 "Reida Rae" retains over 14 patches from combat damage.

I'm amazed Reida never got the later style canopy. VERY cool.

Do they have any intention of installing the turrets into the B-29...?

I believe they do, but a lot of veterans are allowed a look into the cockpit and with the two turrets in place, it makes it difficult for them.

Here's a shot of "Rieda Rae" shortly before she was finished.

The NEAM is to be commended for bouncing back from a storm like that. Such destruction could have easily caused them to just close their doors. Keep up the good work.
