"Doc" has received approval to begin paid passenger flights and the first tickets will go on sale for the stop in Madison, WI the weekend before Oshkosh. More ride dates will be added soon!
https://www.b29doc.com/docs-friends-rec ... r-flights/Doc’s Friends, Inc., announced it has been granted approval by the Federal Aviation Administration an exemption to offer passenger flights on B-29 Doc. The FAA granted the group’s request for exemption and Doc’s Living History Flight Experience (LHFE) program, which clears the way for ticket sales to begin for rides on the historic warbird.
The first ride flights offered by Doc’s Friends for B-29 Doc will be next week in Madison, WI at Heavy Bombers Weekend, July 20-22. Each B-29 Doc Flight Experience will last approximately 90 minutes and include a 30-minute ride. Prior to takeoff, passengers will experience a crew briefing and learn more about the history of the B-29 and the role it played in U.S. history. Passengers will also get to hear and see the sights and sounds of engine starts and run-ups prior to takeoff.
