Iconic Bomber’s History Restored Tour Will Be At Yanks Air Museum
The B-29 “Doc” History Restored Tour will be returning to Chino Airport (CNO) in California October 9-13, 2024 for a weekend stop at Yanks Air Museum.
B-29 Doc will arrive on Wednesday October 9, and will be available for ground and cockpit tours as well as flight experience rides throughout the weekend. While it is on the ground, visitors can climb up inside the aircraft through the forward bomb bay door to look around, tour the bomb bay, cockpit, and crew compartments of the historic aircraft. In addition, the dedicated crew that restored the aircraft will be available to meet and ask questions about the processes and efforts involved in bringing the aircraft back to airworthy condition.
Dan Schone, B-29 Doc pilot and aircraft commander said, “The B-29 Superfortress is a significant piece of World War II history, and Doc represents the pinnacle of American aviation engineering from that era. Doc is a flying tribute to the brave men and women who designed, built and flew these magnificent machines during World War II. The B-29 Doc History Restored Tour provides a unique and up-close opportunity to explore the history of this legendary aircraft, which played a pivotal role during the war, and to honor the crew members who operated these machines.”
Christen Wright, Director of the Yanks Air Museum said, “Our cherished alliance with Doc’s Friends, flourishing since 2019, enables us to preserve our shared American aviation heritage and inspire future generations. Join us in this journey of pride and preservation, purchase a ride or a boarding pass for an immersive tour of this iconic aircraft and our proud museum."
