The Experimental Aircraft Association’s B-25 Berlin Express and the B-29 Doc will partner for several “History Restored Tour” stops in Florida and Louisiana beginning March 31 to kick off the 2022 tour seasons for both historic aircraft.
The historic World War II-era aircraft will appear together in Tallahassee, Florida, March 31-April 3, at the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, April 5-10, and in Monroe, Louisiana, April 14-17.
The tour stops will include ground and cockpit tours for both warbirds, as well as B-25 and B-29 flight experiences at each location, according to EAA officials.
“Bringing these two historic and iconic warbirds together to honor the legacy of those who designed, built, flew, and maintained these aircraft will be a unique and one-of-a-kind event,” said Josh Wells, B-29 Doc executive director and general manager.
Flight tickets are on sale now for both aircraft. EAA’s B-25 Berlin Express can be found at FlyTheB25.org, while B-29 Doc flight tickets can be purchased at B29DOC.com/Rides.
