Paul Keidel submitted this photo and note: “As part of its History Restored tour, the B-29 “Doc” spent a week in late September 2023 at Tucson International Airport. Tours and rides were offered. I’m fortunate to have an insider’s view to its operations since I work here at the airport. And having been immersed in aviation since I was a kid, it’s a thrill to be in the presence of one of the two only airworthy Superfortresses. Fun fact: My driver instructor from back in the early 1980s was a former B-36J pilot and a KB-50 pilot who gifted me both sets of his pilot manuals.”

It’s great to see these historic aircraft still alive and well. When I was at Air Venture in 2005 I met a B 29 pilot a WW2 Veteran and had a great visit with him. Keep up the good work.
