B-29 DOC to Celebrate America’s 250th in Tulsa, Oklahoma
The B-29 DOC History Restored Tour will celebrate America’s 250th in Tulsa, Oklahoma, July 2-5, at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum.
DOC is one of 1,644 Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers built in Wichita, Kansas, during World War II, and today, it is one of only two still airworthy and flying.
“Hosting B-29 DOC during America’s 250th celebration is a powerful reminder of the role aviation and innovation have played in our nation’s history,” said Tulsa Air and Space Museum Executive Director Tonya Blansett. “Tulsa’s aviation heritage is woven into the fabric of American aerospace leadership, and welcoming one of the world’s two remaining airworthy B-29 bombers gives our community a rare chance to experience that history firsthand. We are honored to partner with B-29 DOC to preserve and share these stories while inspiring future generations of aviators, engineers, and historians.”
The historic warbird will be available for ground and cockpit tours, as well as B-29 DOC ride flight experiences during the tour stop in Tulsa.
“Bringing B-29 DOC to Tulsa during America’s 250th celebration weekend is an opportunity to honor the innovation, sacrifice, and determination that shaped our nation’s history,” said Jeff Linebaugh, B-29 DOC aircraft commander. “Tulsa has a deep aviation legacy that helped power America’s rise as a leader in aerospace, from wartime production to today’s thriving aviation industry. Through the B-29 DOC History Restored Tour, we’re proud to partner with the Tulsa Air and Space Museum to connect new generations with the stories of the Greatest Generation and the aircraft that helped secure freedom around the world.”
