The T-29 airplane was developed for the Air Force as a flying classroom used to train navigators. T-29 #50-0190 was delivered to the Air Force in 1951 and after 22 years
service was dropped from inventory and flown to the SAC Museum.
The plane has sat outside in the harsh Nebraska weather for the past 30 years.
When the plane is soda blasted it will be moved into the restoration hangar.
