B-29 Superfortress
National Atomic Museum
Albuquerque, NM


B-29

B-29 on display at the Chanute AFB in central Illinois. Chanute closed down in the early 1990's. They had a great collection of aircraft on display around the base and in an airpark. Many of the display aircraft were moved to other USAF airbases prior to the new museum being established at Chanute. The B-36 went to Castle, and this B-29 went to Kirtland AFB, where it is being held until the opening of the new National Atomic Museum at the nearby Sandia National Laboratories.

Update—The new National Museum Of Nuclear Science & History is now open in Albuquerque, and it can be visited by the general public without having to enter Kirtland AFB. The B-29 was moved to the new museum site during the summer of 2009, and is on display with several other military aircraft.
