Engine failure causes this Boeing B-29 Superfortress Bomber (Enola Gay Themed) to end it's flight abruptly by an emergency landing. One of the four engines stalled causing arratic flight characteristics. I took this video at the 2011 Warbirds Over The Rockies in Colorado. The pilot was amazing in landing this without any damage. YES, this is an RC airplane.

Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named after Enola Gay Tibbets, mother of pilot Paul Tibbets.[2] On 6 August 1945, during the final stages of World War II, it became the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb as a weapon of war. The bomb, code-named "Little Boy", was targeted at the city of Hiroshima, Japan, and caused extensive destruction.

The Enola Gay gained additional attention in 1995 when the cockpit and nose section of the aircraft were exhibited during the bombing's 50th anniversary at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM) of the Smithsonian Institution in downtown Washington, D.C. The exhibit was changed due to a controversy over original historical script displayed with the aircraft. Since 2003 the entire restored B-29 has been on display at NASM's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
