Air Show

Fall 2011 1 020

We had a pretty amazing time at the Air Show. We are lucky to live so close to such a spectacular event. One of the companies I work for gives us VIP tickets so I thought I would take advantage this year since Trenton is really into airplanes! The picture above was from some of the acrobatic planes. I cannot believe they fly upside down and in circles. This girl would be very sick! Trenton thought the show was pretty cool, but I think he enjoyed touring the jets the most.

Flying in pure luxury. He just wanted to sit there & watch the DVD player

He looks so grown up! I hope one day he can charter his own flights!

Daddy & Trenton in front of one of the private jets. I think T was checking out the show during this picture!

One of his favorites by far! He looks so tiny compared to the helicopter

Enjoying a snack under the tent. We decided to grab lunch and then head out to look at all of the planes on display

How cute does he look coming out of this plane!

The pilot was so sweet and explained to Trenton how he flies the plane.

I think the neatest part about this plane is a female flies it. When I told Trenton a girl flies this airplane he couldn’t believe it. She is actually in the back close to the plane.

This was a neat plane. They had it open so you could view the engine & everything else that makes that plan fly!

He was super excited that he could walk under such a big plane!

Trenton decided to take his ear plugs out around this time. Well as soon as we got to the big plane a very loud F-15 or F-22 flew by and he lost it. His ears were ringing and he was scared to death. That pretty much ended our day at the air show.

Even though he was scared he still talks about the air show and about how much fun he had. We saw a lot and I hope we get to go back again next year. Hopefully he won’t remember this scene!! This was also Gene’s first time to go to the Air Show. It’s always fun to watch Gene experience things for the first time with the kids!
