B-29 Question

The Strategic Air and Space Museum (formerly the SAC Museum, now
combined with the Society of SAC) is no longer at either Omaha nor
Offutt AFB.

It relocated in 1998 to a site north of Interstate 80 Exit 426, near
Schramm State Park. For those unfamiliar with the map of Nebraska, that
is where I-80 crosses the Platte River, between Omaha and Lincoln.

The warbirdresourcegroup.org photo of Man - O - War does show it as
displayed inside SASM's new indoor facility.

Yes, they mean flights over the Hump of the Himalayas. The Peach
presumably was part of Matterhorn, in which the 20th Wing was based at
Chengdu, China, and was tasked with hauling most of its ordnance and
fuel from China.

There's a plane at the SAC Museum in Omaha with the camel markings.
Forget the type of aircraft.


B29, Man O War.
