Thank You Sir and RIP.
If my memory is correct his son is or was a B-2 driver.
A friend of mine has a painting similar to this with the B-29 and B-2 and both father and son signatures.

I had the pleasure of meeting General Tibbets a few years ago and have a signed copy of his book. Farewell to an American hero.

A real hero. I did not realize the plane, Enola Gay, was named for his mother. The Enola Gay and Tibbets are popular answers to cross word puzzle questions.

It’s sad how fast the WWII generation is dying. I did meet General Tibbets’ grandson about 10-15 years ago. Last I heard he was following in his grandfather’s footsteps and had worked his way up to squadron commander in the Air Force.

Paul Tibbets was a great man. Thank you sir, for your patriotism. Rest in peace Paul Tibbets.

I don't like the bomb, and I wish it did not happen. But of course it had to happen eventually once it was there. And the use of it did save the lives of Americans and many more Japanese.. looking 20-20 in the rear view mirror
But the difference between US and most of the rest of the world, when we win we do not demolish the people, we resurrect them.
And I just hope that that counts for something someday, say if a hildabest gets into office and the nation fractures apart

It sure looks good closeup. We go to the National Air and Space Museum-Steven F. Udvar-Hazy center at least a couple times a year. It is right next to Dulles airport. Admission is free but they knick you for $12.00 per vehicle for parking. I could spend every day there.

We owe you a debt of gratitude Paul Tibbets, some of us may not have been born if not for you and the rest of your crew on the Enola Gay and we had gone with ground troops into Japan. Harry Truman made the right call.
To: snippy_about_it
He was and is a hero, especially to us vets who were scheduled to invade Japan during the war. The idiot libs still attack him, so much so that he did not want a funeral, nor headstone knowing that they would be trashed by liberals.
