The B-29 Doc aircraft will begin its 2024 History Restored Tour in March with a weekend of activities in Wichita.
The tour begins March 8th through the 10th and it will coincide with the WSU Tech Foundation “Pull a Plane” event, which will be held Saturday, March 9th.
B-29 Doc executive director Josh Wells said in a press release that the upcoming 2024 tour not only marks Doc’s eighth season since its restoration in 2016, but it also launches a year-long tribute commemorating the 80th anniversary of when Doc was built by the Boeing Company in Wichita in 1944. A workforce in Wichita led by women known as “Rosie the Riveters” built 1,644 aircraft, including Doc, during World War II.
B-29 Doc Flight Experience tickets for the 2024 Tour Season Launch weekend in Wichita are on sale now at www.b29doc.com/rides. The flights are scheduled for the following dates and times:
· Friday, March 8: 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m
· Sunday, March 10: 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
The B-29 Doc & WSU Tech Foundation Pull a Plane event will also be a highlight within the 2024 Tour Season Launch weekend, March 8-10.
The Pull a Plane event for 2023 was originally scheduled for October, but due to Doc’s delayed return to Wichita from a tour stop in Arizona, the event had to be rescheduled.
Registration remains open for individuals and teams to participate in the Pull a Plane event on March 9. Visit www.pullaplane.com for more information.
