The iconic B-29 Superfortress Doc is set to return to the Palm Springs Air Museum as part of the 2025 B-29 Doc History Restored Tour, with a tour stop scheduled from April 29 through May 4. Doc, one of only two airworthy B-29 Superfortresses in the world, is a living tribute to the 1,644 B-29 bombers built by Boeing in Wichita, Kansas, during World War II. The Palm Springs visit will feature B-29 Doc Flight Experience Rides, along with ground and cockpit tours, offering visitors an up-close look at this legendary warbird.
“The B-29 Doc History Restored Tour is a rare opportunity to experience a powerful piece of U.S. aviation history,” said Josh Wells, Executive Director of B-29 Doc. “We’re proud to partner once again with the world-class Palm Springs Air Museum, whose mission aligns with ours—honoring and preserving the legacy of those who served. Together, we inspire future generations by bringing history to life.” The Palm Springs Air Museum is dedicated to honoring veterans and educating the public on the role of aviation in securing freedom and democracy. Home to more than 70 historic aircraft, including both flying and static displays, the museum provides a unique setting for this special event.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Doc back to Palm Springs,” said Fred Bell, Vice Chairman of the Palm Springs Air Museum. “This extraordinary aircraft gives our visitors a firsthand appreciation of the vital role American air power has played throughout history.”
