Crashed B-29

The Crashed B-29 was a Boeing B-29 Superfortress flown by a crew of the 44th Bombardment Group that crashed on July 21, 1948, 129 years before the Great War and is now at the bottom of Lake Mead, right next to Lake Mead Cave.

Layout
A crashed B-29 airplane is lying at the bottom of Lake Mead, close to Lake Mead cave and Callville Bay.

During the quest Volare!, it is requested of you to float the bomber up to the surface of the lake, using two ballasts given to you by Loyal, which must be placed between the engines under each wing. After you float it up to the surface Loyal sends robots to disassemble it and bring it back to Nellis Hangars. Once back in the hangar the plane can be seen being worked on by Boomers.

Appearances
Crashed B-29 appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
The crashed B-29 references an actual B-29 that crashed into Lake Mead in July 1948, although the B-29 in question had been modified for atmospheric research, and thus it was not an actual bomber aircraft.
