In July of 2018, Doc's Friends, Inc. (the non-profit group which maintains and supports the bomber) received FAA approval for passenger flights. The first ride flights took place in Madison, Wisconsin at the Heavy Bomber Weekend, July 20-22. My husband and I have donated to Doc's Friends and he was excited to have a chance to take a ride in Doc on August 11, 2018. If you are interested in donating or would like more information about the B-29 Doc Flight Experience, visit www.B29Doc.com/rides.
Richard rode in the navigator's position. He took a camera and I made the following video of his flight. I had to reduce the sound of the engines by 10 decibels to make it comfortable to listen to. Enjoy this piece of history.
