His first Airshow

I say 'first', because if his G'pa Ohio (and possibly Uncle Kevin and Den) have their way, there will be numerous airshows to follow. Not to mention battlesfields and museums of military stuff.

Had a great time. It was a beautiful day--little windy, but temps in the mid 70s, sunny (the clouds cleared all day until by the time the Blue Angels flew, there was barely a cloud in the sky).

Above, g'pa Ohio and Den are waiting in line for one of the many planes you could go in or peak in the cockpit of. Now if only they were offering rides...
G'ma Ohio had Eddie duty a lot of the day while we waited in line. Sorry to say, I can't tell you what plane this was a propeller of, but considering there wasn't a plane there that g'pa Ohio wasn't able to identify and give a little info about, he might be know. Kind of like a landscape architect being able to identify a tree in the winter without leaves.

In this next picture, g'ma and Eddie sat under the wing of a B-1 bomber while we waited in line for 45 minutes to climb up the same ladder the crew uses to see inside the bomber. Very cool--and it had a woman pilot around my age.

So about the sleeping...Ed fell asleep during one of the loudest parts of thw show--while a F-22 was in the air--was turning on his afterburners constantly. He stayed asleep through all the other shows, including the Blue Angels. Every now and then when there was a loud noise, his whole body would jump, shaking the stroller, but he didn't wake up until almost the end of the show, when the Blue Angels were almost done.


I think we're under the wing of a C-130 here, but then they all run together for me. And to think I actually thought it would be neat to join the Navy--until my dad cautioned me I don't take orders well enough to survive.
