Boeing B-29 Superfortress 'Doc.

Doc was converted to a radar calibration aircraft in 1951 and based at Griffiss Air Force Base, New York. Squadron members at Griffiss named their B-29s after the characters in the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and 44-69972 became Doc. In 1955, Doc was modified as a TB-29 and moved to Yuma County Airport in Arizona, where it was used as a target tug

Doc

This B-29 (S/N: 44-69972) was built by Boeing in 1944 at Wichita, Kansas. She was delivered to the U.S. Army Air Forces in March 1945 but did not see combat.

Most of Doc's visitors at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio on July 21-23, 2021, did not know this B-29 Superfortress exists today because of Clevelander Tony Mazzolini and the U.S. Aviation Museum of Cleveland,.
