Weren't some surplus B-29s retrofitted with meteorological instruments and used by hurricane trackers to "punch the eyewall" on storms in the 1980s?

They are extremely rugged and durable aircraft. Happy to see that a good number of them have been restored and flown by living history groups just like the giant steam locomotives of the Union Pacific and Norfolk & Western railways...

I don’t know about hurricane mods, but some were modified for environmental monitoring of russkie radioactive fallout. The first one to detect fallout is sleeping on the bottom of a pond at Eielson AFB in Fairbanks, AK.

I would love to take that ride in a twin seater.

Probably should fast for about 12 hours ahead of time.

Eat bannanas before hand. They taste the same comming up as they do going down.
