Let us not forget that he also flew a complete 25 missions over Europe in the B-17 before he went to the Pacific. RIP Col. Tibbets, job WELL DONE!!!! He was a nice man, as I met him as well, he had No remorse over this and slept well at night!!
Just as "Excalibur" was the name given the sword of King Arthur, "Enola Gay" and "BocksCar" were the names carried by the swords of "THE SLEEPING GIANT" awakened by the thunder of Pearl Harbor. Let Freedom Ring!
my great grandpa fueled this plane with one other man. They were the only ones to be near the plane before they took off. It wasn't until the bomb dropped that they knew how special the enola gay was.
I'm kinda confused tho because the picture i have of him next to it also has a mural of a naked lady next to the enola gay text.
this is great . i meet tibbets and so did my son when he was six years old my son is now 14 and understands it some one day he will be grateful for meeting this man i also met van kirk and one other crew member

Tribute to Enola Gay staff? Is it a joke?
I just feel shy to be an human being.
I prefer to cry for Sadako instead of these killers.
