Back in the 80s I visited the Florence (SC) Air & Missile Museum a
couple times. They had an extremely disassembled B29 that they hoped
eventually to work into some sort of display. That a/c is not mentioned
in any of the online references to the museum I could find. Does anyone
know what happened to it?

I have a vague recollection that it went to another site for restoration and
display ( not scrapped ). I have an even vaguer recollection that it went
to Atlanta:
Correction would be welcomed.

44-70113 was displayed for many years at the Florence Space Museum
When that facility closed, it was moved to Dobbins AFB in Georgia.

Thanks for quoting my own website to me ! :-)

I do know for a fact ( a non tarveristic one ) that it left Florence at least
three years before its closure, probably much earlier than that.

PS - You are welcome to quote the Florence website to me, that's mine as well!
