I wonder if Doc was built at the Renton plant when I was growing up in West Seattle? We are about the same age.

Nice shot!
My father flew those out of Guam as a typhoon chaser in the early 50s.

It's always beautiful to see these, the B29 got off to a rough start but by the end of the day it'd had a great run

Great Photo Adam.....

Looking forward to seeing Doc operate out of Appleton, WI for 2 days end of July.
