New England Air Museum Windsor Locks, CT
B-29 Jack’s Hack on display at the New England Air Museum in Windsor
Locks, Connecticut. This aircraft is a true survivor. It rested for 15 years
on the target range at the US Army Proving Grounds at Aberdeen, Maryland,
then was hit by a tornado on October 3, 1979, then set another 20 years
in the museum boneyard before the museum was able to restore the aircraft.
The restoration was a partnership between the museum and the 58th Bomb Wing
Association. The aircraft is now displayed in a purpose-built hangar as
the centerpiece of the 58th Bomb Wing Memorial.
