It just flew over my building for what seems like the 20th time in the last couple of days.

Looks like it just took off, the gear was down.

It was pretty cool to see the B-29, and what looked to be a P51 and B-24 taking off together today

B-29 and P-51 just flew over Kenmore heading to Hamilton, ON. 2 other planes with them. The sound and sight was awesome! I was in my office and heard it, and it sounded way different than typical aircraft

The P-51 makes about 1,500 horsepower, the B-29 makes 8,800. Now imagine 400 of them at once with 75 P-51s, eight at a time in a constant flow for forty minutes. 🙂
