On May 14, 2014, a NASA satellite image revealed the remains of the Kee Bird, crumpled on an icy sheet. This discovery clarified its current location and condition, reigniting interest in the wreck.
Kee Bird - Humbolt Glacier, Greenland, 1947
The Story of the Kee BirdIn 1947, the Kee Bird, a U.S. Air Force Boeing B-29-BW-95 Superfortress bomber (serial 45-21768, cn 13662), was forced to make an emergency landing on Greenland’s remote Humboldt Glacier during a reconnaissance mission. Stranded in the Arctic, the crew miraculously survived and was rescued days later, leaving the aircraft behind.
Decades later, an ambitious restoration effort in 1994 aimed to fly the Kee Bird off the glacier. Despite significant progress, a fuel leak during taxiing ignited a fire, destroying the plane just as it was nearing flight readiness.
Today, the Kee Bird remains lie on the glacier
