Paul Tibbets Autographed picture.

**carpediem** · 12-30-2017, 02:11 AM

I wanted to share this photo that I have had since Christmas of 2003. A friend who shared an interest in flying was in Florida at a commercial pilot school (I only made it to the controls of a Cessna 172 for a couple short stints while he did become a commercial pilot) and he got this for me at an air show. I had to take it out of its original frame and need to get a new frame for it, so I took an opportunity to photograph it to share. I made the lines on it so it wouldn't be easily copied. Hard to write my name with the editor on a cell phone.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice! Was this signed in 2003? (He passed in 2007.)

Yes, he dated it down in the bottom corner.

Thanks JohnyWoo!
A quick scan of flea-bay seems to indicate that it already is worth a good bit more than paid for it. However, it is not for sale. I would like to find some way to get a COA for it. I have also been mulling over the idea of a way to display it in a more interesting fashion than a picture in a frame.

There is an idea for you...... It might cost you a bit but it is well worth it.
