      Yes. But they wouldn’t risk flying it. The chances of failure or malfunction is so little, but they wouldn’t want to take that risk, so they won’t attempt to fly it.

    Well, they left off the controversy of displaying the nose and cockpit in the main Air & Space Museum in 1995 for the 50th anniversary, as well as the consequences to Hiroshima. I guess this is the kind of video the veterans' groups wanted: no victims, no questioning the necessity of dropping the bomb, and no talk of the Cold War from 1945-1991.

    • @vanderhoof741

      So what? It’s largely a technical video on the aircraft and its whereabouts over the decades. Plenty of other videos out here covering all that.
