Think your team has what it takes to move 80,000 pounds of history?Join forces with B-29 Doc and the WSU Tech Foundation for Pull a Plane for Education, a one-of-a-kind challenge where teamwork meets impact. This exhilarating fundraiser puts teams head-to-head with a fully restored B 29 aircraft in a competition unlike anything else. Humans versus an 80,000-pound plane.
Teams of 25 will race against the clock to pull Doc down the ramp using nothing but strength, strategy, and teamwork. The top individual fundraiser will earn a once-in-a-lifetime flight experience aboard Doc.
Pull a Plane 2026 takes place on Saturday, March 7 at the B-29 Doc Hangar, Education and Visitors Center.
