As a native and life-long Wichitan I have been waiting for this event for years. I was one of hundreds of spectators standing in the warm Sunday morning Kansas sun awaiting Doc's first flight. When he finally flew over us it was validation that I can pretty much stand out in the summer sunlight waiting for planes, trains, and probably automobiles too if it's a rare car....
Now we are anxiously awaiting the plan for a permanent home to house Doc in so he stays in the fine shape that he is now. I also heard a rumor that Fifi was in the air on that Sunday morning on the way to an air show, so if that's the case then we had two B-29's in the air for the first time in many years.
