As one of only two B-29 Superfortresses still flying today, DOC stands as a remarkable tribute to the crews and builders of the WWII era. The P-51 Gunfighter, a rare D-Model Mustang, is among fewer than 150 remaining examples from the thousands originally produced.

Throughout the History Restored Tour, guests of all ages can climb inside DOC, get an up-close look at Gunfighter, dive into living history, and meet the dedicated volunteers who keep these aircraft flying.

Whether you’re passionate about aviation, fascinated by history, or simply looking for a memorable outing, the B-29 DOC and Gunfighter visit to Wilmington delivers a meaningful and immersive connection to America’s past.
