3:33Now Playing"Doc" is a vintage B29 Superfortress, one of only two that can fly in the U.S. The airplane spent four decades as a crumbling, derelict bombing target in the Mojave desert, one lucky hit away from joining almost all the other B29 Superfortresses on the scrap heap. It’s taken a heroic effort from volunteers and an ocean of money from individual and corporate donors including the Boeing Company, the plane’s original builders to pull off “Doc’s” unlikely rebirth. The plane flew as part of the Joint Base Andrews Air Show on Sept. 16 and 17, 2017. Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube
