It looks like Fifi, the only known B-29 to maintain airworthy status, will soon have some welcome company in the skies. After several decades, the efforts to bring the B-29 bomber named Doc from its dormancy in the Mojave Desert to back into the skies has taken one giant step in the right direction.
Doc’s restoration effort began in 1987 after Tony Mazzolini rescued the deserted bomber from the desert. “Saving it from that situation in the desert was one thing,” said Mazzolini. “But the dream was always to restore Doc to flying condition and turn it into a flying museum to help keep the memories alive.”
