Okay, so these pictures are now out of order so whatever! Yesterday we went to the air show at Luke Air Force Base with our friends Jose and Christy. It was awesome! And you know if I liked it, Cameron was in heaven! Alrighty, the pic above is Cameron's favorite aerobatic pilot, Kirby Chamblis. He's five time world champion and he flies an Edge 540 (like I know what that means!). It was amazing how low these planes flew!
This guy is amazing! First of all, he's only 28 years old--Cameron's age! He is the only guy IN THE WORLD that flies acrobatic in a Beech 18--this plane is not meant for acrobatics! It's huge! He was amazing! He started flying at age 15 with his dad. Sadly, his dad died in 2005...in a car accident. Ironic huh?
These were Stearmans and it's just amazing how close together they fly. Unreal...
Okay, to make this make sense, look at the plane below. It's an A-10 Warthog. It flew over and shot live ammo and dropped a bomb and all! AWESOME!!!
Poor Haylee...She was such a trooper! Haylee is outgoing, easily entertained, just an all around easy kid. But her problem is she HATES loud noises...and we were at the air show! Whenever a really loud one would fly by, she'd reach for her daddy and as soon as he took her, she'd lay her head on his shoulder and be happy again. Safe with daddy.:) This is her patting Cameron.:)
This was a Geico Extra 300 S--the tricks this guy did were soooo crazy! I've never been afraid to fly and usually have fallen asleep flying with Cameron in his plane. It's actually kinda boring to me (Cameron would call that blasphemous!). But get me in one of these planes with these pilots and I'd be in HEAVEN!!!! I would LOVE for Cameron to get into aerobatic training! That would be soo much fun!
Thanks to Jose and Christy, Haylee had her own little chair! She didn't stay in it for long once the planes started flying overhead though! But she LOVED it until then! It was perfect for her! And look Grandma Penny, not only did we lather her up in sunscreen, but we even had sunglasses for her!!!
Here's me, Haylee, Jose and Christy checkin' out the planes before they flew. We love this couple and are so happy they moved into our ward and that we've gotten to know them better. They are so fun and such a great couple!

Sounds like a BLAST! Looking at all of your posts, sounds like you have been busy having fun.
What fun!! Some people from our ward came down for it and said it was was wonderful.
And so cute that Haylee wanted her Daddy!
I am so proud of you for remembering sunscreen! It makes this grandma very happy. Can't wait to get my hands on baby sister this weekend!
Yep, she is a little girl now. No longer a baby. She is still adorable in every way. I would love to go to an air show like that. Next year it is a date....lets plan on it!
That's rad! & Haylee is getting SO big! She's adorable! Miss you guys!
Love it! Haylee is so cute!
