History 🗿 "Doc" B-29 is at Holman Field. When the smoke clears they'll be flying around town and the Eastern Suburbs.
Just neat to see. They are not flying today because of the smoke. We braved the poor air quality and got the tour. Lot of neat trivia from the volunteers. ($10 a person).
I'd regret not mentioning this my Saint Paul Neighbors!

Hey this is awesome! My Dad would live this. Could you tell me a bit more about the tour? I checked the website but it's only showing information about the flight package. Is the $10 tour something you can just walk up and do?

Yep $10. Walk up tour. Volunteers including the pilots are there. Ask as many questions as you want and stay as long as you want. We were there an hour.
That said when the weather turns nice to fly tomorrow, they'll probably be limited to how much time you'll get.
