Wendover Utah

I was at this god-forsaken place last week. It does have some old hangars and a little museum reflecting a day when it was one of the largest airbases in the US. I just took a few pics of some of the more "interesting" things. Enjoy!

Nice pictures Joe. Who's signatures are on the Bomb?

 

[Matt308]

Cool! Love the Bomb. Wonder version that was...

 

[Airframes]

Matt, it's a 'Bl**dy Big Bang' version!
Great shots Joe - not much sadder than a derelict, or semi-derelict airfield. When you think of the lives lived there, and the activity there must have been at one time, and now see it empty and forlorn.

I don't know who signed it, probably former 509th folks, I didn't see Tibbits signature on it.

Looks like a OFSWS (Oh F*cking Sh*t We're Scr*wed) Mk.I bomb...

Little Boy perhaps, or is it one of the later ones?

Great pics!

Little Boy....

 

[Gnomey]

Good shots Joe!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very cool!

It was the little boy? Looks much more modern with the rad alt antennas.

Yes, it was Little Boy. I think it was a later mod than the one dropped on Hiroshima.
