With the amazing news last week from Wichita, Kansas which saw the first post-restoration flight for the B-29 Super Fortress known as Doc, we can now share the air-to-air video taken by Scott Slocum provided to us by Doc’s Friends. The noted aerial photographer was flying in the back seat of Doug Rozendaal’s chase plane during the flight, and captured some fascinating footage of the experience. We thought our readers would enjoy seeing the flight from his first-person perspective.
