Almost there… Doc rolls out.

You know FiFi, the only flightworthy B-29 Superfortress in the world. Well, with a little bit of luck, Doc will be airborne this year. And today was Doc’s rollout after a stunning 300,000 man-hours of restorations. Doc still has a ways to go before she’s flightworthy, but the progress has been terrific.

    Lord she’s beautiful. Pity they felt compelled to play “Wild Blue Yonder,” one of the gayest service songs known. T’was made worse by playing a tape instead of using a real band.

    It look like the shiny surfaces show where they did the rebuilding?
