Hey Rattler, you big stud

Don't adjust your monitors. That handsome man in uniform is looking a wee bit green. This is following Cam's once-in-a-lifetime adventure. He took the day off from his real job to be a fighter pilot for a day. I found this really cool company out of Centennial airport that flies Warbird T-34A aircraft. Can you believe they actually let this guy control the plane?!? He had a quick training session on stalls, rolls, dives, etc and off he went into the wild blue yonder.


As soon as they landed, the kids and I ran over for a few photos (just a few as the wind kicked up and the temperature dropped).







Callahan loved that Dad flew in the little yellow plane and, as you can see, couldn't take his eyes off the plane for a picture. These are my guys with the actual pilot.


As he climbed into the passenger seat, I think he may have actually said, "Show me the way home, honey"! Then off he was to his dark, quiet room to try and get his head unscrambled.


Cam is thinking he may have to try again (just to see if he can keep his stomach contents this time) but has totally ruled out flying lessons (mission accomplished!).
