Oooooh! I just had an eyegasm! Thanks for posting that, I've never seen one from that angle. Come to think of it, neither have its enemies.

EDIT: I just noticed, it has a D21 Drone, too! Wow! Don't see them too often. They didn't officially exist until long after the Blackbird was declassified, AFAIK.

I'm cheating here.
I just opened a book on B29s and a photo my daddy took fell out. I digitized and cropped it so you can see the nose art a bit better.
Probably taken at Hobbs NM or Davis Monthan AZ near the end of its life. In a previous paint job this airplane was called "Trojan Spirit". Now it's "721"
Notice all the trips it took over the "hump" to supply Chinese bases from India to support the bombing of Japan.
The 678th also attacked Bangkok Siam, to bomb railyards and bridges. Also Formosa, Malaysia, Burma. etc.

The Aircraft pics are awesome. I have been meaning for a long time to go get pics of the blackbird here at the Space, and Rocket center. And, now more randomness.

This little guy jumped on me as I entered the place I was staying in San Angelo.


Just thought that was interesting.
