Same.

Although the story hints at it, BG Tibbets IV was for many years a fully rated member of the "FiFi" flight crew although I don't know if he ever toured with the airplane. After his Flag promotion, I know his free time got to be even less so it's great to see he was able to spend some with Doc and the crew.
