Crashed B-29

The Crashed B-29, dubbed The Lady in the Water or The Lady by the Boomers, is an aircraft lying at the bottom of Lake Mead, close to Lake Mead Cave and Callville Bay.

Background
On July 21, 1948, the bomber crashed into Lake Mead. Magazine articles written about the event, photographs, and a map of the area were compiled and cataloged at Nellis Air Force Base. In the early 2230s, vault dwellers that would later refer to themselves as the Boomers occupied the base and discovered the information.

The Boomers wish to raise the airplane out of the water, move it back to Nellis, and return it to operational condition. They disassembled another B-29 in a museum for spare parts, and awaited the day when they would raise the plane from the water and ascend to the skies.

Layout
During the quest Volare! the Boomers request the Courier float the bomber up to the surface of the lake, using two ballasts provided by Loyal. The ballasts must be placed between the engines under each wing. After floating it up to the surface, Loyal sends robots to disassemble it and bring it back to Nellis hangars. Once taken to the hangar, it can be seen being re-assembled and restored by the Boomers.
