PRESS RELEASE – The B-29 Doc History Restored Tour will be at Terre Haute Regional Airport for a three-day tour stop, July 12-14. The Terre Haute tour stop is the second stop for the B-29 Doc History Restored Tour in July that includes visits to a total of seven cities across five states.
“We are excited to bring the full B-29 Doc History Restored Tour back to Terre Haute this year,” said Josh Wells, B-29 Doc general manager and executive director. “Last fall, we spent a few days in Terre Haute and hosted ride flights but due to COVID-19, we were unable to offer cockpit and ground tours. On this visit, visitors will not only be able to fly in B-29 Doc, but they’ll also be able to get an up-close and personal look at the warbird that helped deliver victory in Japan for the Allies during World War II.”
