The B-29, built in 1945, was retired in 1956 and used for target practice before a 16-year restoration effort, primarily by volunteers, brought it back to airworthy status in 2000.
Owned and operated by the nonprofit Doc's Friends Inc., "Doc" travels the country, providing flight experiences and educating the public on its historical significance as a WWII-era heavy bomber.
