Just noticed a report that Paul Tibbets, the pilot of the "Enola Gay" which dropped the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima died at 92 years of age today. Limited amount of time left with these wonderful older WWII vets. Time to set down with one if you know them and hear some amazing stories!

Re: Tibbets Dies
I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Tibbets at Reno a few years ago. My daughters didn't really get a grasp of his place in history until this year. They're teenagers now, and to have met someone like him is special to both them and to me.
RIP, Paul. A grateful nation mourns your passing.

Originally posted by whoadudeI shook his hand at a book signing at Reno a few years ago. At least I was able to thank him for his duty. I remember his smile.
