60 yrs
August 6, 1945.
Almost 60 yrs ago, Dutch Van Kirk helped Paul Tibbets navigate a plane that unleashed hell in a handbasket. I'd gotten General Paul Tibbets before, but this weekend, I got Dutch to autograph my model of the Enola Gay.
After signing my plane, he also gave me a free patch, which was pretty cool.
I'll prolly put pictures up later.
General Tex Hill was also there, and it's as if he hasn't aged much.
Also saw my first B2 Bomber in person, other than on CNN, fly overhead while at the airshow.
