I Flew on a B-29 Superfortress… and It Was Unforgettable

October 2025 - Wings Over Houston sees the only two airworthy B-29 Superfortress bombers in the world side by side. For the return flight home to the Commemorative Air Force base at Dallas our host Mike snags a ride, interviewing pilot Neil Broussard and Flight Engineer Corbett Hankins on what it takes to keep the incredible B-29 flying in 2025. It's a ride you won't want to miss!

Jacques & the entire Commemorative Air Force team, Kevin from Netweave for coordinating this crazy experience, Mike Killian for supplying his gorgeous photos and everybody who's worked so hard to keep Fifi flying!

In this video, I take you inside one of the last airworthy B-29s on Earth to explore what it was really like to fly aboard this iconic World War II giant. From the moment the engines roar to life to the surreal feeling of crawling through the pressurized tunnel, this is as close as you can get to stepping back into 1944.
