I read an article recently on kansas.com about Doc's Friends offering rides on "Doc" in an effort to raise money to keep it flying.

I don't have any other details but I'm sure inquiring parties could contact the Doc's Friends organization for more info.

Doc is one of two flying B-29s and is located in Wichita, KS.
