The Confederate Air force operates the only flyable B-29 named "FIFI",unless another has become operational in the last couple years.I think there is also just one B-24 Liberator flying,unless that has changed this last year,there is 5 B-17's (I think) maybe 6 by now(one crashed in the filming of "Memphis Belle" and was a total loss).Parts are very hard to come by but the Boeing company has been gracious enough to assist in some areas of restoration I've read,just in what way I can only go by the article that was in the local newspaper in Everett Washington.
