The Legacy of the B-29 DOC

The B-29 DOC is one of only two airworthy Boeing B-29 Superfortresses remaining in the world. It was restored to flying condition by the non-profit organization Doc's Friends in Wichita, Kansas.

The "DOC" is part of a "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" themed squadron and now serves as a traveling museum and flying tribute to wartime aircrews.

Inspiring Future Generations Through Aviation

Josh Wells, the executive director for the B-29 DOC, said, "The stories behind B-29 DOC and the men and women who designed, built, and flew these warbirds to protect freedom are vitally important to preserving U.S. history. Air shows, and aviation events like what will happen from July 13-18 in Sioux Falls, provide up-close and personal experiences with aviation that will unite families and inspire the next generation of aviators, while celebrating our nation’s history."

You can book a flight experience now. Each B-29 Doc Flight Experience will last approximately 90 minutes and include a 30-minute ride. Before takeoff, passengers will experience a crew briefing and learn more about the history of the B-29 and the role it played in U.S. history.
