Hopes high that restored B-29 ‘Doc’ will fly in 2014

Doc. Historic Plane Pron.
The Wichita-built vintage Boeing B-29 Superfortress under restoration inside a Boeing hangar may fly as soon as this summer, volunteers on the project say.
The plan is to fly the historic plane to AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., in July, where the public can view it.

    It will be good to have two flyable B-29s... "Fifi" is the only one at the moment.

    Yep.
    Fertile Myrtle did a gear up in the Twin Cities some years ago and has not been repaired as far as I am aware.
