Runway Safety: Allentown, PA (KABE)

The fully restored B-29 Boeing Superfortress
named “Doc” will attend its first EAA AirVenture during the
convention in Oshkosh, July 24-30, 2017. The historic
aircraft made its first flight in July of 2016, more than 15
years after arriving in Wichita to be restored. “This will be a
historic year for our airplane and to say we’re excited about
our plans to tour in 2017 is an understatement,” said Jim
Murphy, manager for the Doc’s Friends Restoration
Program. AirVenture will be the last stop on Doc’s debut
tour, which also includes visits at Yingling Aviation in
Wichita, Kansas; Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana; and
Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.
