Northrop T-38 Talon (67-1484) - This is a T-38C, witch is a trainer aircraft. I looked up this particular aircraft and found out some interesting information and history. This aircraft is part of the 509th bomber wing. they are located at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. This aircraft is currently being flown by Brigadier General Paul Tibbets IV. That in its self is not intriguing, what is? this is the grand son of Paul Tibbets jr. And why is that interesting? Because his grandfather is the pilot of the B-29 bomber the Enola Gay that dropped the first atomic bomb used in conflict on Hiroshima Japan, effectively saving millions of lives on both sides and ending WWII.

Thanks for the background info, Brian.
Just recently read Grandpa Paul's book.

The B-2 squadron, which is a direct descendant of the squadron of the one that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, is the only one that shows an atom bomb explosion. They are the only Air Force or AAF unit to ever drop one in anger.
