On a recent visit to Seattle, Flightline Fabrications had the one of a kind chance to visit the Museum of Flight’s rare B-29 Superfortress under restoration in Boeing’s Plant #2.  This visit included a complete behind the scenes guided tour and one of a kind day. 

The Museum of Flight’s rare B-29 Superfortress, known as T-Square 54, fought in the Pacific during World War II, flying 37 bombing missions with the 875th Bomb Squadron, 498th Bomb Group. The bomber was later converted to an aerial refueling tanker for the Korean Conflict.
