The CAF's "Fifi" has long been the only flying example of a B-29. If all goes according to plan, it will have a formation mate at Oshkosh this summer. http://www.kansas.com/news/business/aviation/article4546947.html#
Good news. Last time I checked early this year, the group was hoping to have it airborne for Oshkosh 2014. Hopefully they'll be on track for 2015. I've never been to Oshkosh before, but I might attend to see two B-29s in formation.
Anyone with an interest in aviation owes themselves a trip to AirVenture at Oshkosh at least once in their lifetime. There is always a large contingent of WWII warbirds in attendance. Two B-29's flying together would be special.
There are numerous B-29s in museums, but the expense of restoring one to flight status is enormous. ENOLA GAY is in the Dulles annex of the Smithsonian; BOCK'S CAR is in the Air Force Musuem in Dayton. There are roughly 30 B-29s in the US and several in other countries. There is a B-29 gate guardian at an Air Reserve Base near me. View attachment 21721
A few of my family members go every year and always ask me to come. I'll get around to it sometime. Its not that long of a drive from where I am in Ontario.

it's a big airplane....these warbirds do not seem so big when you look at pics....you have to see them in person to realize their size...I saw a TBF one time, and was amazed how big it was...

Well behind original timeline but "Doc" getting closer to an airworthiness certificate. A "rosie the riveter" who worked on "Doc" in 1944 helped attach the data plate. http://www.kansas.com/news/business/aviation/article75137832.html#emlnl=Afternoon_Headlines
