It is a sight, it's a memory that will stay with me always.

Takeoff of a B-29 is, to my eye anyway, kind of like the lift-off of a Saturn 5 rocket. So agonizingly slow, you're sure they've reached the end of the runway & are going to crash & burn. Then all of a sudden she's clawing her way skyward & you're standing there scolding yourself for doubting that it was ever going to happen.

Thanx for the trip down memory lane!
