Doc 'work parties' continue on B-29 restoration
About 25 volunteers spent several hours working on the B-29 "Doc" restoration project in Wichita, Kan., after their regular work shifts recently. Some of the volunteers fastened the top skin to the center wing section, and others performed necessary structural repairs on the 42 and 45 sections. At the end of their "B-29 shift," the volunteers were served dinner by the B-29 leadership team. Plans are under way to complete the necessary repairs and begin to rejoin the major body sections. "We're still shooting for completion of this restoration by the end of the first quarter 2003," said restoration project manger Dick Ziegler. Another after-work event for volunteers has been scheduled for Aug. 27.
