kee bird
« on: July 29, 2011, 05:07:28 PM »
the kee bird was a b-29 that was on a coldwar recon mission over the arctic circle when the weather got bad and it ran out of gas. it was forced to ditch in greenland in 1947. the crew was alive but they left the kee bird there. there is a documentary series about it. if anybody is able to. can you make this skin and the bottom is painted black to blend in with the night sky.






the kee bird being discovered in 1994

Wildchild, watch all 6 parts and find out. I could hand you the answer but I don't think that would be fair. This was a great video. What a shame they lost it. Actually we all lost out on this one. Thank you for sharing.

Almost an entire day researching photos and videos and the history of the plane. The appearance closer to true in my interpretation is this.

B-29 Kee Bird, Crash Site, Feb 1947. Based on this picture, I made the skin within 2 hours
