Not "a B-29" but the ONLY flying B-29. Also known as "Fifi" operated by
the Commerative Air Force out of Texas. There is one in Witchita at the
Boeing facility being restored to flying status, but it is still a few
years off.
http://b-29.boeing.com/ So, out of the 4000 or so made,
only a dozen or so exist on display at museums around the country, one
is being restored to fly, and one flys. The rest were scrapped or used
for target practice by the Navy at China Lake.
