The Boeing B29 Superfortress is one of the most historically important airplanes ever made. But did you know its guns were remote controlled through a computer system? The Museum of Flight’s B29 has been painstakingly restored, including the computers controlling the airplane’s turrets. As far as we know, this is the only B29 in existence with a working computer system – and our Senior Curator Matthew Burchette is here to share a demonstration!

The restoration of “T Square 54” has taken decades and is only possible thanks to a crew of dedicated volunteers who have poured blood, sweat and tears into the project. We gratefully extend a huge thank you to the volunteers who keep this history alive.
