I went up in Doc a couple of years ago, from the Chino airport in SoCal. I rode in the bombardier's seat in the nose. What a view. What a plane. I love all warbirds but Doc is truly something special.

[@markburton8680]

My father flew B-29s off of Saipan when he was 23, he spent 29 years serving our country. R. I. P. Lt. Col. Burton.

[@dantheman5222]

Old props never get old. as a kid my Dad took his boys to watch the old Lancaster take off and land in Perth western Australia some 40 years ago i will never forget it, i don't think it's there anymore. My dad took us to everything military even on docked navy ships fondly remember walking around on the British aircraft carrier Invincible Thank you Dad RIP

[@dennisammann9104]

Dear Dan, I visited Perth in 1984 aboard USS Kitty Hawk and in 1989 aboard USS Ranger. I befriended an Aussie couple who took me to a air museum there. I saw a Lancaster painted black because it flew missions over Germany at night as all Brits, NZ, Aussie, & Canadians did. USAA flew daytime bombing missions as you well know. The Yanks didn't worry, they had 'self-sealing' fuel tanks! LoL I had a great visit both times. Perth has the exact same weather is San Diego, only difference is there are a few bushes in the outback that are different from ours. Yes we have Eucalyptus trees here and dozens of Koala bears at our zoo eating Eucalyptus leaves all day. I would love to see a Lancaster fly, closest one is in Canada, a long way from here! :-( Blue skies & tail winds to you.

[@erniehunt3180]

You can't beat the folks in Wichita!

[@barrygrant2907]

My dad was a Seabee on Saipan and Tinian. His skill was surveying for all the runways, etc. He did the surveying for the atomic bomb pits, although at the time had no idea what it was for. He said no one at the grunt level knew about B-29s and were really surprised when the first ones arrived on the fields.

[@rossbryan6102]

LOL IMAGINE THE SURPRISE OF THE JAPANESE, AND GERMANS!!

[@JasonCarmichael]

I get to see Doc flying a few times a year. I happen to live under the downwind of both McConnell AFB(IAB) and Eisenhower (ICT). I've seen it fly directly over my house several times.

[@GaryLaaks1]

Still a breautiful aircraft with nostalgic history.

[@coloffroad]

I got to ride in the cockpit of Doc in August 2020. A dream come true. Watched the movie fly over from Mt. Home Air Base in the 50’s. A true marvel.

[@Retsam03]

I was stationed at China Lake when it was pulled out of the desert. If you ever have a chance to see it..DON"T miss it!

[@stephenhawk8384]

What a gorgeous plane. That landing was as smooth as could be.

[@dwmzmm]

One of my uncle (on dad's side) served as a tail gunner on the B-29 during the Pacific Theater.

[@gusm2752]

The tragic story of the B-29 salvaged in Greenland the Kee Bird. After all the pain stalking efforts to get it air worthy and about to fly it back to the US just to have it catch fire as it was about to start her takeoff run. So sad.

[@michaelwoodward5787]

Was glad to see this plane in the Milwaukee air show! And got to see FIFI n Kenosha! Great weekend.

[@davef.2811]

Ever live in FL?

[@peterjohnston8116]

Great to see such an iconic aircraft flying again. The only time I have seen a B29 aircraft was at Jackson Field, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea in 1963. The USAF were conducting air-photo mapping operations over the then Dutch New Guinea in preparation for handover to Indonesia.

[@johnmcclintock8004]

Yessir. . . now Irian Jaya , (Indonesia)

Absolutely magnificent. One of the greatest machines ever built by man. Wow.

[@arnoldkellner2173]

OMG what a beautiful airplane🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍

[@damnitbobby1470]

Seen Doc fly last Saturday at the Milwaukee Air and Water Show. It was awesome seeing it fly .

[@henryhorner3182]

Picture the two B-29s (Fifi and Doc) leading a half-dozen B-17s and the two still airworthy B-24s in a low pass.

[@BigLisaFan]

Maybe toss in a Lancaster or 2 for flavour?

[@markg.4246]

Was playing golf at Northern Bay Resort (WI) yesterday, 7/28/22 and saw this beauty against a vivid blue sky. What made it more special, was that I got to fly aboard "FiFi" in 2000.

[@peterweger6923]

I saw this plane fly over my place a few days ago on its way to Oshkosh while watering my garden. Wish I would of had my camera on me was an awesome site.

Nice capture!

Did that B29 have to "rock it's wings"? Everyone else has to....

[@berlynreed4253]

I was 3 years old when I got to sit in the co-pilot seat of Doc! That was at SAC Headquarters/ Offutt Air Base! Course my godfather was Gen. Lemay and my dad was a flight engineer for B17s and B29s!

[@fromaggiovagiola9128]

Doc flew directly over my house in 2019.

I didn't know that FIFI was here also.

[@mikejones-dt8vj]

[@davidkaminski615]

Why do they bump 1 & 4 engines from X to +? Maintenance/inspection purposes?

[@Georgeconna32]

Will it fly during the show?

[@carlwilliams6977]

Is the tri-angular thing below the tail a sacrificial piece in case of a tail strike? If so, did they all have it or is that custom for this plane?

[@BLACKMONGOOSE13]

Yes and Yes. Every heavy has one. Commercial planes as well.

[@carlwilliams6977]

@@BLACKMONGOOSE13 Really? On modern jets? I've never noticed it before, and have seen some pretty serious damage from relatively minor tail strikes.

DOC

[@anthonyjolson87]

sup "Doc"?

[@HoneyBadgerFarm]

eh!

[@j.t.cooper2963]

I worked at Boeing Wichita and contributed money to the restoration of Doc. It was supposed to take like 7-10 years but ended up taking almost 17 years to complete. What a beautiful airplane.

[@davidcole333]

Worth every penny! She is magnificent.

[@BilgePump]

Hi JT me too! (The contribution part) I’m glad to see Doc flying. I got interested in the project knowing it had a very good chance of success. Boy was it ever.

[@LowEarthOrbitPilot]

I contributed and purchased the large wooden model they were selling… it was quite a thrill to see her for the first time at Osh Kosh in 2017, and to see her fly alongside FIFI! Thank God for people like Tony Mazzolini and his vision, efforts, and stamina, as well as every single soul who worked to build her, maintain her, restore her, and who provided the technical knowledge and assistance necessary for her resurrection! ❤️

[@rcpmac]

And to think the Wichita plant build them with 20,000 man-hours and produced over 4 per day.

[@bBersZ]

@@rcpmac That's an interesting observation you have there.

[@petermendoza1170]

Can you imagine what it was like watching and hearing 10 OF THEM lining up for takeoff? That would be so beautiful 😍

[@joeblow5037]

The plane that saved a million American lives.

[@Three-LeggedCat]

Absolutely. It also saved Japanese lives. Though tragically tens of thousands would die underneath this warbird, in the long run it prevented a far bloodier land war.

[@goingtoscotland]

@@Three-LeggedCat aircraft like Doc, but not Doc. Doc did not see combat during WWII

[@markmaki4460]

Even if there were no A-bomb or invasion, millions of Japanese would have died from famine.

[@shortribslongbow5312]

Whoa she is beautiful! :o)

[@jimmccullough6227]

Got to see FiFi twice. Once a few years ago in Sacramento and once when she was housed at the museum in Midland TX. At that time she was going through a major rebuild. Wish I could include photos.

[@mtacoustic1]

I believe the B-29 development program cost more than the A-bomb program.

[@topfuelfan]

She's all shined up and Beautiful !! 👍

[@theycallmehoipilloi5495]

That didn't look like FiFi. Is there now a second working B-29? That's great!

It'ds Doc

[@johnbender5356]

looks like she is sporting a new skin.

[@sandman93449dm]

WWII..the sky full of these birds over Japan..what a sight that must have been.

[@mauriceclemens3286]

The development of the B-29 cost more than the entire Manhattan Project that gave us the Atomic Bomb.

[@truthful3777]

Thanks for the video but it would be better if the view can be nearer as it is too far away to be appreciated.

[@toddbarboza5513]

What a beauty 😍

[@roberttosa2560]

Beautiful

[@americanrambler4972]

Don’t forget, it was two of these airplanes that dropped the atomic bombs on Japan in 1945. And the B-29 saw combat in both WWII and Korea.

[@PhilG999]

Ok, now I'm confused! My Granddad built B-29s for Lockheed (then Bell Aircraft) in Marietta, Ga during WWII. Well, he made Instrument Panels... I've never seen the Boeing connection before ... 🤔

[@BigLisaFan]

Originally a Boeing design but also built by subcontractors.

[@PhilG999]

@@BigLisaFan Thanks! I didn't know that! One more addition to my knowledge of the B-29! BTW I still have some of the "reject" instruments that Granddad brought me to "tinker" with when I was in single digits of age (I'm almost 64). Learned how to take them apart, then how to put them back together. Actually got some of them to work afterwards! 🤣

[@BigLisaFan]

@@PhilG999 You're welcome. Hope they don't have glow in the dark radium dials. LOL Brought an aircraft instrument for an aircraft restoration to a museum as a donation. If I had brought in a live atomic bomb they couldn't have been more excited. Radium is radioactive and they really got all bent out of shape over it.

[@PhilG999]

@@BigLisaFan Strange. Watches still have Radium dials, or at least my two-year-old Seiko does...

[@truthful3777]

Imagine fully Piston engine. What a beauty! No high pitch whine. .

[@BigLisaFan]

Just think. At one time there were hundreds of these things that could fly, now there is what, two?
