I actually met and shook hands with Maj. Gen. Frank Sweeney, pilot of "Bocks Car". He gave a talk about both atomic missions, their training etc. That was over 35 years ago, I wish I could remember all the details he provided but I do remember his resolve remained strong, he had no regrets and he believed it was the right thing to do to end the war.

"Bocks Car" is on static display at the USAF museum at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. I have been there. It was a bit surreal to look up into the empty bomb bay and think about what it carried and what it did.
