Hey there dwarfflex ... I live in North Yorkshire on the edge of the moors (not too far from Fylingdale the American early warning station) and over the last couple of weeks I have noticed more air activity than normal but today has been ridiculous with helicopters and planes flying over almost every 5 - 10 mins but was unable to see a thing because they were all above cloud level ... this went on pretty much all day ... never seen it like that before ever.

Exactly the same kind of activity in Canada near Montreal north shore
every 5 min a B29 flying quite low
first time in 15 yrs that i see that in my area

Twenty-two B-29s are preserved at various museums worldwide, including one flying example, along with four complete airframes either in storage or under restoration, eight partial airframes in storage or under restoration and there are four known wreck sites.[56] Only two of the 22 museum aircraft are outside the United States, one is in the American Air Museum at the Imperial War Museum Duxford in the United Kingdom, the other at the KAI Aerospace Museum in Sachon, South Korea. One is the B-29 "Sweet Eloise" at Dobbins air base in Georgia which flew 27 successful bombing missions mainly over Japan during the second World War, and five POW relief missions.
I can't believe you are wasting the time.To argue which type of plane a civillan saw.Most can't tell the difference between a b-1 and a b-52.On another subject the russian Bear Bomber is a copy of a b-29 and is still in use in the russian air force.The plane our friend in canada saw sounds like a lockheed p-3 orion rounded wing tips and all.The U.S. still watchs the north atlantic and arctic by nato treaty.but really who cares he saw a plane.

In this case I really doubt that the B-29 is being used in Canada at this time.
As far as the OP and other threads like this it appears as if the World is getting ready for something. Then again something is always going on somewhere in the world so who knows.
