A traffic stop could be interesting.


Trooper: "Sir, I pulled you over for going 65 in a 55 mph zone. By the way, what are you hauling in the trailer?"

Driver: "Um...err...a Little Boy?"

Trooper: What?! You've got a CHILD back there?!

Driver: A child? Oh goodness no. A Little Boy...you know, the atomic bomb..."


:D

Did you even bother to read anything? Or did you just look at the pictures?

Nice job. What are the small holes in front of the tabs on the tail cone for?

Here are a couple of photos of a different unit that is on display here in Wendover. The signatures were added at the 509th reunion in Wichita a few years back. Gen. Tibbets walked around it several time then signed it saying, "this is where I signed the real thing!"
