You and others are missing the point. If the B-29 is a "magnificent
technological achievement" fine, display one. But why does it have to be the
Enola Gay


Because it was the most important B-29 ever built?

It was important because it dropped the bomb - my exact point.

You're point seemed to be that the display was a "celebration" of
killing people by nuclear means.

It is simply the most famous aircraft of WWII, which seems a good
reason for its display in a museum.
