Confederate Air Force brought a 29 and a 17 out for static display when I
was stationed in California. Together they had one tenth the hours of the
52 parked nearby. And it was one of the "young" ones, not an old hog like
the D.

They flew a 29 out here for display and even a few sightseeing flights
over Memorial Day. There was a large pilot training base here in the
war. Silos on the farm were a landmark for return lineup for landing.
One fella' who flew them and was trainer here took a turn and retraced
his old path--discovered we'd had to take the silos down. I happened to
be out when he flew over at about 150 ft or so.
