The tour stop in Farmingdale, NY will be hosted by the American Airpower Museum, which will also have vintage warbird aircraft including its P-40 Warhawk, P-51 Mustang, C-47 and B-25.

“The American Airpower Museum is honored to welcome Doc on its very first visit to the New York area during this 75th anniversary year of the end of World War II,” said Scott Clyman, American Airpower Museum director of events. “The B-29 was a marvel of technology in its day and played a major role in the Pacific theater, helping bring an end to World War II. Our mission is to honor veterans who flew and maintained these warbirds to preserve freedom around the world 75 years ago.”

The tour stop for B-29 Doc at the American Airpower Museum will be Doc’s first visit to the Empire State, and the furthest point east for the 2020 Doc tour schedule.
