Historic B-29 Doc delights aircraft buffs at Minden-Tahoe Airport
On Tuesday and Wednesday, plane enthusiasts were able to see a piece of history in action at the Minden-Tahoe Airport.
The B-29 Doc, one of only two B-29 Superfortresses still found in the skies today, is currently crossing the west in a History Restored Tour, and was available for tours this week.
“Our mission with the B-29 Doc History Restored Tour is to tell the stories of the men and women who designed, built, flew and maintained these magnificent machines that helped deliver victory over oppression during World War II, “said Josh Wells, B-29 Doc executive director. “We are dedicated to honoring the men and women who have served our nation, and who continue to fight to protect freedom at home and abroad.”
B-29 Doc arrived at the Minden-Tahoe Airport Monday, and was available for ground and cockpit tours Tuesday and Wednesday.
Additionally, B-29 Doc Flight Experience rides were available in the mornings.
Other stops on the tour include Denver, Wendover, Spokane, Seattle and Phoenix during the month of May.
