nice guy, i never scored a ride though.

She is very loud and lumbers down the runway. She used just about all of it in the takeoff run. It was great to see one actually fly. I have seen the Enola Gay at the Hazy museum. Not quite the same as she sit silently with the other aircraft. Not sure if flying her again is a good thing. I can say that all walks of life were taking plenty of pictures of her.

Steve,

I went through my pictures and this one my daughter had taken the same day. Much closer and can read more names/squadrons. Can see Pappy's wingman signature!

meahwhile the Germans thought it was in the bag...




But us Allies decoded everything...





Then the USA rolled in with this
