Getting the next generation hooked
« on: December 03, 2011, 03:11:58 PM »
We spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Phoenix with my family this year. Fortunately I was able to take my 3 year old daughter to the CAF's Az Wing for most of Saturday, so she could see some planes up close. I got to catchup with several old friends and see the amazing work they've done since I left. Later in the morning I started showing her the planes and she got to sit in several of them. We had to go through the B-17 "Sentimental Journey" 5 times before she wanted to move on to the next plane! She was so excited when the SNJ (Navy T-6) started up, it made me tear up (yea I know silly dad stuff). So it's pretty safe to say that at least one more person will join our obsession. 


She peddled this one for over an hour!
