B-29 Doc takes to the skies for the first time since 1956
« on: July 18, 2016, 02:08:23 PM »
I was watching at about 1/4 mile from McConnell AFB when Doc flew on Sunday, 7/17/2016. It is so awesome that there are two airworthy B-29s now!




The Skyknights held a reunion in Wichita in 2010. In this photo, several of us pose with "Doc".

And during the GoPro footage in the nose I was thinking about how much it resembled the shadow and textures from the Beta. HTC nailed it, and Doc proves it!
