“Our vision throughout the restoration project has been to share this historic warbird with the world by operating Doc as a flying museum to honor those who built, maintained and flew B-29s to protect America’s freedom at home and abroad. Taking Doc on tour in 2017 is just the first step in our overall mission. We want to educate current and future generations on the contributions made by the Greatest Generation during wartime.” Source: Murphy, Doc’s Friends Restoration Program Manager, discussing the announcement that the B-29, Doc, will make four national tour stops through the first half of the 2017 summer tour season. Doc’s Friends, Inc., is the group operating the fully restored B-29 Boeing Superfortress.
