Awesome! My recommendation after having been out to the Smithsonian last week and seeing the Enola Gay: a wing height observation platform on one side and unobstructed ground viewing from the other. I realize the aircraft will be flying, but when it is there it was use Ben nice to be able to get a good look at it, but still being able to get clear pics.

You could also go old school. The Lockheed facility here in Atlanta where they build C-130s was originally built to construct B-29s. Due to material shortages the floors were made of creasote soaked wood 4x4s laid in vertically like tiles. Many are still there.

The platform is already in. I’ll have to investigate what the B-29 facilities here were like. We’re going modern though.
