I like it, but it does seem a little too big. I've been eyeing this one for a while. I think maybe I'll follow your lead and get one.

The plane is a B-29 Superfortress. That's the kind of plane that dropped the nukes on Japan in '45. Gary

That would have been General Paul Tibbets who passed away in 2007. His grandson, Paul Tibbets IV was also a bomber pilot who flew B2 "Stealth" Bombers.

Somewhere around 10 years ago, I met the guy who flew the plane that dropped the first atom bomb. It was at an airshow in Akron, Ohio. It was really cool to be there looking history right in the eye. He was signing his books if you bought one, so I have the book he wrote signed by him. The book is actually very good also.

The most important question has not yet been answered. Namely, where can I get me one?
