B-29 Superfortress Nears First Flight
Volunteers in Wichita, Kansas, who are working to restore a B-29 Superfortress named Doc have brought the massive airplane close to completion and are getting ready to return the bomber to the skies before the new year. The non-profit volunteer organization Doc's Friends is now raising money for a permanent museum to provide protection and a place to display the historical beauty to the public.

Tell your Dad for me "Thanks for the years of service to help maintain the freedom and rights that we now have in this country."
I try to thank every service man that I run into... These guys are the ones we owe so much too and they get so little in return.

Wow. Your dad is one of the 'Greatest Generation' and I know you must be one proud son. Your dad did a great service in training pilots; he deserves the Wright Brothers Master Pilot award and all the praise that comes his way. Thank him for me for his service and let him know that there are still those that have not forgotten, and appreciate his service during WWII.
Thanks, Jimmy--very kind of you--if ever in DAL -Love Field--- Check out the Frontiers of Flight Museum at the south end of the Runway..

I still have some engine tools for the Wright 3350 the '29 wore, intake gland nut and pushrod gland nut wrenches. I used these when I worked for an airline that operated DC7s'.
I would like to visit and donate these tools.
