One of only two remaining B-29 bombers flying today will be with us for the Florida Air Show in November. How cool is that?!

After a lengthy restoration project, ‘Doc’ first flew again in 2016. Check out the fascinating full story here: https://www.b29doc.com/docs-story/. We can’t to see Doc up close and hear the the sound of those 4 huge radial engines. We’re so excited!

You never know who you’re going to meet at the airport. Last weekend a couple of student pilots wanted a picture with Gracie. Turned out they were fellow Brits on their first solo cross- country from Vero Beach to Venice. Future British Airways pilots training with Skyborne U.S 😎.
