Larry calls the Enola Gay the most historically important aircraft, or something like that. Personally, I'd rather sit (actually, lie down) in Oriville Wright's spot on the 1903 flyer, or perhaps the command module of the Apollo 11, if given the choice of any 'seat' in a historical aircraft. But I have to say I've always been envious of Larry's opportunity to hang out at the old Silver Hill facility. I'm glad I got to play a part in having it happen.
