B-29 Doc Taxis Under its Own Power!
Wichita, Ks- The B-29 Doc completed its first taxi test under its own power for the first time in 56 years. Doc was rescued from China Lake and within the past few years has made huge milestones. It is only a matter of time before Doc joins FiFi as the worlds only flying B-29s. http://www.b-29doc.com/2016/05/11/video-doc-is-on-the-move-with-low-speed-taxi-test/ (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Wonderful. Thanks so much for posting this! Watched, with much appreciation, a B-25 fly out of Santa Barbara yesterday. Great birds! Thanks again.
A pleasure to see a B-29 rolling along and soon to fly. Brought back great memories of my B-29 Detachment with the RCAF at Edmonton. Back in the forties the flight activity was classified.
It would be GREAT if DOC (when certified for flight) would be able to fly to Seattle/Everett Paine Field (KPAE)& be displayed at the Historical Flight Foundation & fly along side HFF's Mitchell B-25 GRUMPY!!!!!
If we could get Doc, Fifi, & the KC-97 at the same place we'd have a glorious fly over!
My only regret in life is never having seen a swarm of about 70 in formation. THAT must have been SOME sight. I can only imagine the sense of utter relief our guys on the ground felt to see them overhead, and the sense of utter HORROR the other side must have felt when the knew they were on the way. I hope I'm still here when Doc and Fifi get to go to their 1st Dance.(together).
