OSH24... It's Hardly An Aero-Party Without Doc!

B29 Doc To Return To Oshkosh 

Yeah.... it's looking to be an Oshkosh to remember... 

B-29 Doc, one of 1,644 B-29 Superfortress aircraft built by the Boeing Company in Wichita during World War II and one of only two B-29 bombers still airworthy and flying today, will be among the performers at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2024.

Doc will host B-29 Doc Flight Experience rides July 22-25 and will be a featured performer at the air show during the week. The historic warbird will also be on static display for ground and cockpit tours on Boeing Plaza on Friday and Saturday, July 26-27.

“Doc has been a regular participant at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh over the past decade and its presence is always well-received from our members and visitors,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates AirVenture features and attractions. “Seeing the B-29 fly and seeing it up close on display is a highlight for many aviation enthusiasts who come to Oshkosh.”

“Joining the EAA AirVenture performer line-up is a top highlight of our tour season each year,” said Donnie Obreiter, B-29 Doc director of maintenance & chief flight engineer. “Bringing Doc to Oshkosh allows thousands of people a unique opportunity to experience history up close and personal. Operating such a historically significant machine to honor the Greatest Generation is core to our mission and it’s something in which our entire team takes great pride in executing.”

Tickets for B-29 Doc Flight Experience rides during EAA AirVenture are on sale now. Tickets will also be available at the Bomber Shack in Warbird Alley on the EAA show grounds during the week of the air show.

This year marks the fifth time Doc has participated in EAA AirVenture.

B-29 Doc will operate its B-29 Doc Flight Experience rides July 22-25 in Appleton, Wisconsin, and will perform in the AirVenture air show through the week before arriving on the show grounds Thursday evening, July 25, to be on static display for ground and cockpit tours Friday through Sunday, July 26-28. Ride flight tickets and merchandise for Doc will be available for purchase at the Bomber Shack in Warbird Alley at AirVenture beginning Monday, July 22. B-29 Doc ride passengers will have access to the EAA ride flight shuttle, which will depart from the EAA show grounds and transport ride passengers to and from Appleton International Airport.
