Here are a couple of URL's regarding "Haggerty's Hag" the B-29 at HAFB. There is a book published about the aircraft, "Haggerty's Hag" by Mel Blansett who worked on the aircraft. I have the book but it is buried deep in my library and might take a while digging it out. I will see what I can find out when I go to the museum today but I believe everybody is correct, it was used at Dugway for radiation resident tests and had to be kept until it was not "HOT" anymore... as I recall what the book said. http://www.johnweeks.com/b29/b29hill.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/d70w7/5524433178/ Kay ____________________________________________________________ 60-Year-Old Mom Looks 27 Mom Reveals Free Wrinkle Trick That Has Angered Doctors! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/4f33f046bb28bf9d724st05duc
Great links Kay, I didn't know the history of our B-29. Thanks! I took this photo of the B-29 a couple of years ago, http://www.flickr.com/photos/27963332@N06/3463752380/ I've noticed that they've moved around some of the aircraft and I hope to go up and photograph the museum a little bit this Saturday.
