It took 16 years of labor and nearly 60 years since its last flight, but the B-29 SuperFortress known as “Doc” is flying again. (Sunday July 17, 2016)
It truly is a labor of love. 16 full years to get only the second airworthy B-29 SuperFortress up and flying again–but Doc’s friends did it on Sunday July 17.
The Wichita-built bomber lifted off from a McConnell Air Force Base runway this morning. Tony Mazzolini, a former flight engineer led the effort to bring it to Wichita for restoration. Mazzolini found Doc sitting in the Mojave Desert and decided to start an effort to bring the SuperFortress back to life.

This is wonderful. Unfortunately there could have been 3 flying if that idiot that tried to recover the one in Greenland had turned it over to people that knew what they were doing.
