Bocks' Car is displayed at the USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton while the restored Enola Gay is at the Smithsonian.

I had the honor of meeting General Paul Tibbets a few years back - he autographed his autobiography for me and is a very nice man.

I have seen the Enola Gat - I was in high school at the time.

I've never been to Wright-Patterson though - if I ever get the chance I will though!!!

4. People no longer think you're a hypochondriac.
5. Your secrets are now safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
6. Your eyes won't get much worse.
7. You're no longer expected to run into a burning building.
8. Whatever you buy now won't wear out.
9. In a hostage situation, you're likely to be released first.
10. There's nothing left to learn the hard way.
