column5 Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) Just heard on the radio that Paul Tibbets, pilot of the Enola Gay, died today. I think they said he was 92. Edited November 1, 2007 by column5 Quote

Viggen Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 RIP. I thank you (as will all my cadets come sunday) for your devotion to duty and country. Quote
+Dave Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 I was his great grandson's basic training instructor. Gen Tibbets was a hell of a man. Edit And I think it was his grand nephew not grandson. I have to find that flight training book. It's like a year book of sorts. BG Tibbets signed it. Sheesh this was 1995. When I go home on leave I will try to find it and scan it for all to see if anyone is interested. He was a very nice person to talk to. Quote
Jarhead1 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Another hero gone to the big hangar in the sky. The only famous person i have met was R. Lee Ermey and Capt. Dale Dye. Both awesome men Quote
