B-29 Superfortress
Edward F. Beale Museum
Marysville, CA


B-29

B-29 Superfortress nose section on display at the Edward F. Beale Museum, located on the grounds of Beale AFB near Marysville, California. Beale AFB is famous as the home of the SR-71 and a major base for the U-2. The nose section was recovered from an aircraft that was used as a bombing target at China Lake.

The museum at Beale AFB closed after 9/11, and the aircraft have been sent to other museums. I have not been able to confirm the current whereabouts of this B-29 nose section. I have heard rumors that it went north to the Museum of Flight in Seattle, to be used as a source of parts for the restoration of T Square 54. If so, lets hope that this nose section stays largely intact to be displayed somewhere in the future.
