FLYING‘s Meg Godlewski in her happy place.
Takeoffs are often the most exciting part of the flight—that is especially true when you are riding in the nose of a B-29 bomber Doc. Wearing a headset, you hear the pilot and co-pilot running checklists and verbalizing procedures—full power, landing gear up, etc.—and the world falls away. The plexiglass floor of the position gives you a bird's-eye view of the terrain beneath you.
Come along as FLYING staff writer and technical editor Meg Godlewski takes one heck of a ride in Doc.
