Doc, the friendly B-29 bomber restored by retired Wichita aerospace workers, some of them the original workers that built the aircraft decades ago, will get its physical examination from the FAA starting March 14. The FAA will start with a review of the aircraft’s paperwork as a first step toward an airworthiness certificate.
It now appears the first flight could occur at the end of April or early May. The temperature must be at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit for an engine start. The winter weather in Wichita has been mild—good news for an aircraft spending it outside on the ramp across the airport from McConnell Air Force Base.

Great news on getting a second B-29 airworthy.
