History:
- The Superfortress known as “Doc” Serial Number 44-69972 has had extensive restoration done on it by volunteers in Wichita, Kansas where it was originally built.
- “Doc” was one of a squadron of eight planes named as one of the dwarfs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs story.
- After the Korean War, it was flown to China Lake, California, for use as a bombing target. It became part of the United States Aviation Museum, Inyokern, CA, from 1998 – 2000.
- It was later disassembled and moved by truck in March 2007 to the Kansas Aviation Museum for restoration.
- In 2013 it was announced that a new non-profit group, Doc’s Friends, had taken ownership of the airplane and would support the effort to refurbish the vintage airplane. The airplane was moved from a storage hangar to active hangar space donated by Boeing where volunteers resumed restoration work.
- Doc successfully returned to the air at McConnell AFB in Wichita on July 17, 2016
