Key Takeaways:

"Doc," one of only two airworthy Boeing B-29 Superfortresses, will be displayed at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh from July 24-26 and will offer flight experiences nearby from July 20-23.
Built in March 1945 as a technologically advanced heavy bomber and named "Doc" after a Disney character, it was retired in 1956 and used for target practice.
After a 16-year, 450,000-volunteer-hour restoration project initiated in 1987, "Doc" returned to the skies in 2000 and is now operated by a nonprofit, offering rides and educational experiences.

Doc, one of two airworthy Boeing B-29 Superfortresses left in the world, will be part of the scene at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in July.

“As AirVenture is the world’s largest annual gathering of warbirds, we’re very happy to be welcoming the B-29 Doc back to Oshkosh,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, and coordinator of AirVenture features and attractions, in a statement. “This B-29 is always a big favorite on Boeing Plaza when it appears in Oshkosh, especially as it is one of only two flying examples in the world of the legendary aircraft.”
