He may be clipped to a safety cable at his left belt line.
Doors could be open based on the light below.
Just my opinion, may be interpreting the pic incorrectly.

Some good news about B-29s.

There soon will be another flying the skies to join FiFi, the only surviving B-29 currently in flight status.

"Doc" has been undergoing restoration in Wichita since 2000 when she was rescued from the China Lake bombing range.

Is it just me, or do the 'insert image' and other icons not work any more?

At altitude he would have frostbite and pass out from a lack of oxygen in just a few seconds. So no, it's not flying.

Doc is a great local story. The effort has had some setbacks, but I think they're finally getting close to the finish line.
