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.

Despite a steep learning curve and some harrowing instructional moments, Bryan Heim conquers a Cessna 172 and is cleared for takeoff into becoming a pilot.
Learning to fly may be every boy’s (and many girls’) dream, but flying a plane is the ultimate multitasking scenario and a serious venture. While controlling roll, pitch, and yaw, you must watch out for other aircraft and maintain a level flight. You are dealing simultaneously with wind and relative airspeed, with angle of attack, with the forces of power and load, weight and lift, thrust and drag. For most people, it is a new, and vastly accelerated, way of thinking. And unlike with ground transportation, you can’t just pull over to figure things out.
“Landing is the most challenging part of flying, I didnt even try!” said Heim. “It’s a skilled craft that can’t be fully explained unless you have actually landed a plane. You just have to practice again and again until you get it.”
“Next time I’m coming out with my new log book, I need more hours!” Heim smiled, “so you can bet I will be back!”

Scott Truitt noticed that as he traveled around the country, he would see military and other soldiers in airports. He wanted to thank them, but sometimes didn’t know exactly how to do it without both parties not feeling a little “awkward”. He knew they would appreciate it, but at the same time, didn’t know how to convey this.
The Senate voted to terminate further production of the Air Force’s topline F-22 Raptor Tuesday, giving President Obama a major spending victory and siding with the Pentagon’s desire for smaller jets beter suited to 21st century wars.

In recent news, just announced is the replacement for the F-22 Raptor jets that will not be built. Budget cuts have forced the Air Force to re-visit WWII B-29 Super Fortressaircraft and the developement of jet engines tested in the X-1 Rocket Plane that are more efficent.

The crew of the Maersk Alabama recaptured their ship from the pirates, but their captain remained in the hands of the Somalis.
“There’s four Somali pirates, and they’ve got our captain,” Ken Quinn said in a ship-to-shore phone interview.
Capt. Richard Phillips is being held in the Alabama’s 28-foot lifeboat after the pirates reneged on an agreement to exchange him for a captured pirate, Quinn said. “We returned him (the pirate), but they didn’t return the captain,” he said.
The hijackers forcefully boarded the Alabama early Wednesday, when it was about 350 miles off the coast of Somalia, a failed nation which has become a haven for pirates who have now attacked over 160 merchant vessels in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean.
The dispatch of the USS Bainbridge to rescue Captain Murphy is an unusual example of historical justice.The ship is named after Commodore William Bainbridge, a hero of the Barbary Pirates War who was himself held hostage twice.
