Join the Veterans Breakfast Club for a special conversation with Brigadier General (Ret.) Paul Tibbets IV, whose military career spans more than three decades and includes leadership at the highest levels of U.S. Air Force strategic operations. General Tibbets brings a unique perspective shaped by deep family ties to military aviation. He is the grandson of Paul W. Tibbets Jr., pilot of the Enola Gay during World War II. General Tibbets entered the Air Force in 1989 after graduating from the U.S. Air Force Academy with a degree in Human Factors Engineering. Over the course of his career, he flew all three of the Air Force’s strategic bombers—the B-1 Lancer, B-2 Spirit, and B-52 Stratofortress—and served in a wide range of operational and command roles. These included command of the historic 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air Force Base and service as Deputy Commander of Air Force Global Strike Command. He flew combat missions in the Balkans and Afghanistan, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross for his role in Operation Allied Force. Tibbets also held key positions in nuclear operations, culminating in his role as Deputy Director for Nuclear Operations at U.S. Strategic Command. Throughout his service, he combined operational experience with strategic oversight, contributing to the readiness and deterrence posture of the U.S. nuclear enterprise. #VeteransBreakfastClub #PaulTibbetsIV #AirForce #StrategicCommand #MilitaryAviation #VeteranStories #LiveEvent #VBC We’re grateful to UPMC for Life  for sponsoring this event!
