Doc was at Allentown PA the weekend of May 11th and came back on the the 20 & 21st for an encore after the Dover show on it's way to Cincinnati so it's was well received here...

Absolutely fantastic. What a ride the kid had. Bet he remembers that for the rest of his life. Wouldn’t be easy to sit there with that view beneath your feet.

Now try flying it flat and slow for ten minutes to drop the bombs, with flack all around. Lol

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!

Great video. To put it in perspective imagine each of those crew seats filled with a 20 or 21 year old man going on a mission. Enemy aircraft coming up to shoot you down. Flak very think close to target but you can't turn back or even turn away. What brave men those were. Thank God we had them back then.

Just came from your B29 flight video. I can see we share similar tastes😀 I made the long drive from Boston to a Walmart parking lot in Madisonville Tennessee to watch this eclipse. Was a great experience that i had to wait until my 50s to see. There’s a total eclipse next year that’s closer to home for me in April I believe? Actually, need to start planning out where I’m going to be for that one before the media starts amping it up and hotel rooms become scarce.

@TomVeik 9 ай бұрын

Glad you liked the videos. I'm planning to head down to Texas for the next one. Not exactly sure where yet but I'll figure something out. I was part of a citizen science project last time. We had volunteers all along the path of totality photographing the total eclipse. Then we all submitted our photos for them to analyze. I signed up again this year. eclipsemegamovie.org/

amazed at how much input the pilot has to put in the controls and how slowly the airplane was to react. What an amazing airplane though!

@thunderbird1921 9 ай бұрын

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.

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.

@TomVeik 9 ай бұрын

The field bag is a nice keepsake to have. Too bad it's deteriorating. Where was he based at? Do you know? The navigation skills back then always amazed me. How they could find their way across long distances over the ocean.

@A.R.L.-14 9 ай бұрын

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。

Same exact seat I rode in on Doc... I think it's the best seat in the house, especially if you want to see ALL the cockpit action, and still have great access to windows, etc.

I agree. The bombardier's seat would be super cool, but you miss much of the rest of the B-29 experience.

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.

@TomVeik 9 ай бұрын

I did see pictures of the plane at China Lake, both inside and outside, and saw how deteriorated everything was. It's amazing how much work went into restoring it, and how well it turned out. Not just visually, but also to be flyable with enough confidence in safety to carry passengers. It would have been an honor to be part of that restoration team.

My first flight was in a converted C47 to a passanger plane (West Coast Airways from KHQM) about 1957. I fell in love with WW2 era aircraft then and suspect this young boy is starting a similar romance of his own after this flight.
