You're Enola Gay.


The actual plane that actually dropped the bomb. I'm not 100% convinced that this is something we want to be showing off in the same museum that we brag about our innovations in flight.
I think it should be preserved and remembered, but it's disturbing how casually it is mixed in with the rest of the collection.
(Although much more disturbing were the B-52 themed ties in the gift shop. I didn't realize I was such a hippy about these things, but I don't see how someone would want to wear a tie with images of M16s or tanks on it. But I guess this is why I don't work for the Defense Department.)
