Hi Board,
Last week from my office in Newport, I saw a B29 fly down the Hudson around lunch time. Quite a soundtrack I must say. Does anyone have any info on this flight?
Thanks.

Welcome to the site! I wish I saw this myself. There might be some info in one of the other threads.
Are you sure it was a B-29? There was a B-17 flying around last Friday-Sunday from Teterboro around the Statue of Liberty and up and down the river.

Hmm,
Perhaps I was mistaken. Didn't get too good of a look at it as it flashed in and out behind building lines. It was a treat to witness nevertheless. Nice photo!
I'd be willing to bet that what you saw was the B-17 Bill posted. The only B-29 in flying condition is "Fifi", and she has been out of service since last summer with engine issues.
This one was out and about that week as well....
