    The first time that I was on Doc was in the summer of 1977 on Baker Range at China Lake where I was working. I crawled through Doc and took ~ 5 photographs that were forwarded to the CAF. The second time that I was on Doc was on July 9, 2023 (46 years later). I spent ~30 minutes in the Bombadier’s seat while flying over Wichita. I got closure on a big event in my life. Thank you so much to those that restored this aircraft and to those that arranged for me to fly on Doc almost a half century later!

    My father was a USAAF B-29 navigator 1944-1945. He died in 2016 age 94. I have his original flight jacket with squadron insignia. My family are members of Friends of Doc and I have followed Doc's saga since Tony Mazzolini's early website (c 2000?). We have seen FIFI at Boire Field in Nashua NH. We would LOVE to see DOC - please bring him east to New England!

    What an incredible experience, thanks so much for posting! I've long had a soft spot for the B-29, partially because my Great-Uncle was a US Army infantryman during the Korean War. It's great to see one of the planes that helped give him air support, I'm so glad the Superforts are starting to be recognized more for their role in the early days of SAC, not just their part in ending World War II.

    I was amongst the crowd one day at the Long Beach (Ca.) airport when they had assembled a small airshow. I think it was 2009-2010. That day "Fifi" flew in to amuse the crowd. Everyone thinks of a B-29 as this huge aircraft. Compared to modern jumbo jets and even the B-36 of the mid 50's era it looks demure. When introduced in the early-mid 40's, it indeed was a marvel and quite respectively sized for the day. I only wish there were more than just Doc & Fifi in operational condition today. Regardless, these two examples are amazing examples of what American technology could develop in short order under war conditions. I don't have a warm feeling we could do so today.... I pray I would be very wrong. ...

    My grandfather was a navigator in a B29 in 1951-52 during the Korean War. 34 B29s were lost during the Korean War. He just died last year in 2022 at the age of 93. He narrowly missed fighting in ww2 as he was just a few years too young. He was 16 when WW2 ended, born in 1929. I have his field bag consisting of a small tent, a sleeping bag, a water canteen, and a pocket knife. Never been washed and still has some Korean dirt on it. It is so brittle, the fabric is starting to fall apart.

    From the UK.
    Brings it home . . .just imagine doing a 8-12 hour round trip from Tinian to Japan in that flight engineers station . Cramp or what . . .You'd have to be hoisted out at the end of the flight.
    Just imagine doing one of the initial low level flights over Japan and be greeted by hordes of Japanese Army and Navy fighters executing head-on attacks . . . and you're sitting there in the glasshouse, strapped-in, unable to move, hoping your gunners will nail them before they nail you.
    Or alternatiively over Korea with North Korean Mig 15s bearing down on you firing that 37mm cannon that could open the aircraft up like a can of sardines.
    What guts the aircrew of those times had.
    And for those that survived, there was no post-flight physical re-conditioning as there was later with SAC.

    • @TomVeik
      @TomVeik  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's a small airport. When we taxied, they had to shut down the two outboard engines and position the propellers so they wouldn't strike the elevated taxiway lights.
      We took off on runway 30 which is 5502 feet long and landed on runway 36 which is 6501 feet long. For reference, the runways on Tinian were 8500 feet long. Of course we were much lighter than a combat mission would have been.

    Nice video, though I got to say I absolutely hate the CMOS rolling shutter effect of the strobed props. Next time, it would be great to use a real video camera with a conventional shutter that shows the props as a blur, just as the human eye perceives them. Back in the early '80s I was a young HP sales rep that had China Lake (CA) as part of my territory. One Friday afternoon I stopped by the Airfield and saw the abandoned B-29s including Doc, left there to rot at the end of the runway decades earlier. I had a chance to climb through Doc, and was sad to see how deteriorated the interior was. These guys have done a remarkable job of bringing the plane back to life.

      Doc was rescued from being used for target practice at China Lake Naval Air Station. It was trucked to Wichita, Kansas, where it was built in 1944. Volunteers, including retired workers from the plant who assembled it in 1944, worked on it for months. Boeing even helped with the project. The outside was even buffed to a shine. I see some of the original instruments in the cockpit have been replaced with modern digital ones.

      The Kee Bird was a B 29 that made an emergency landing in Greenland in 1947 or 48. The crew was rescued a few days later and the Kee Bird was abandoned on the frozen tundra until it was recovered by a team that replaced the engines, tires, propellers,and everything needed to get airworthy again. I believe it was in 1988 when the the attempt was made to fly it to the US Thule Air Force Base 200 miles away to check it over for more necessary repairs to have it fly as Fi Fi and Doc does today. When Kee Bird was taxiing to a ice-runway built by the crew the APU unit broke lose and splashed fuel and ignited and destroyed the plane on the ground. The crew tried desperately to put the fire out but couldn’t. No one was hurt, but this could’ve been fatal to the crew if the plane started burning while airborne. Such a sad lose.

      too bad 'Doc' never saw combat,that would be even sweeter.I've seen 'Doc' a few times in Wichita,I lived on the flight path to runway 19R and seeing and hearing it coming in for a landing was awesome.

    I crawled all thru Doc when it was at the Wichita Air Museum in July 2007. Engines were off being refurb. at P & W. Had sandbags piled on the nose gear so it would not tip back on its tail.

      All of the people involved in the restoration project should be proud of the work they did on Doc. They did a beautiful job. I visited their hanger in Wichita earlier this year because I was passing through town. Lucky for me Doc was there so I could see her again.

      結局のところ、日本人は核爆弾を投下する人たちを愛しているのです。 たとえば、日本人はアメリカ人が大好きです。 しかし、彼らはロシア人や中国人が好きではありません。 おそらくまだ日本に爆弾を落としていないからでしょう。 日本人の愛の秘密が明らかに。
