B-29 DOC “Pull a Plane” Event Rescheduled to October Amid Engine Maintenance

Doc’s Friends Inc. has announced that the 2026 B-29 DOC and WSU Tech Foundation “Pull a Plane” event will now take place on October 17, following a change in schedule due to ongoing engine maintenance affecting the readiness of the B-29 DOC. The event had previously been moved from March to April 19, but organizers say the timeline for required maintenance work has shifted, prompting a further delay. “Two of DOC’s four engines were removed from the airplane in November for inspection and sent to DOC’s engine manufacturer for repair,” said Josh Wells, B-29 DOC executive director. “With two engines removed, the aircraft has been unable to be moved out of the hangar due to changes in weight distribution and center of gravity.”
