Re: Lt. Col. Robert E. "Pappy" Haynes,
Rolland, the article was worded oddly, he may have just been retiring from the position at Fairchild but continued to serve in the USAF elsewhere.
For "Thumper" B-29-40-BW-42-24623 [A Sq 21] fans there is an aircraft image (less crew) while on tour at Boeing Wichita here

Edit: Actually rereading the article (now attached) this was AF retirement with hopes of future employment in the motion picture business in Chicago. He may have continued in the AF reserve and resurfaced later.
