B-29 Superfortress "Lucky Lady"
Of the 3,970 B-29s were built during production, only a few have been preserved, restored, and are on static display. A total of about 22 complete B-29 airframes are currently on display in the United States.
One B-29 survivor, "Lucky Lady", S/N 44-84076, is on display at the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum in Ashland, Nebraska.
The bomber was manufactured by Bell Aircraft, in Marietta, Georgia and delivered to the U.S. Army Air Force on August 4, 1945. Its initial assignment was to Walker AAF (Second Air Force), Victoria, Kansas.
In July of 1959, the plane was transferred to the 3902nd Air Base Wing (SAC), Offutt AFB, Nebraska, and dropped from inventory by transfer to the Strategic Air Command & Space Museum.
We last visited the museum in October of 2018. The B-29TB restoration is very well done, and is one of the finest of the sixteen (16) B-29 survivors we have had the opportunity to photograph.
For information about visiting the museum, we recommend a visit to the website of the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum.
