Now he's seen daddy's books laying about but talk about the real thing....he had a blast :)



^^^^ Whats this plane Dad? ( P51D The Brat III )



Flaps down



He liked this one. " Its a shark airplane Dad " P40



The Avenger was one of his favorites. He really liked the folding wings....explaining carrier operations to a 2 1/2 year old was a highlight of my life so far :)



He loved the 251 and the M3's rolling around. Half tracks blew his mind



Looking out at the flight line. " theres Fifi ! "





Tails



He wanted to drive the old army truck home LOL!

All in all an awesome experience. He even got to say hi to Bill Guarnere ( Band of brothers ). He was doing a book signing and there was no line at all on Friday.

Figured I'd share these photos, this is a great airshow for anyone in SE Pennsylvania and it goes on till tomorrow 6/3/2012. Make it if you can !!!!

Looks like you had a great day there Dad. Now make it a tradition.

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Sweet! Im loving that TBM...

Im mad now... i could have finally seen Fifi... The FBO/flightschool i work at/ fly at were going to do a group flight out there taking 3-4 planes today, but we canceled the trip on Thursday due to the forecasts of having really bad weather all weekend...
