Saturday was a day for flying out at the Ogden Municipal Airport.
Doug's Fathers Day gift was a once in a lifetime flight on a B-17.
We all came out to watch...
There is only about a handful of these great planes from WWII that still fly.
He had about 45 minutes of flying and came off the plane saying it was"AWESOME!"
THEN....after a briefing on parachute operation (he was joking),
Kaitlyn and Cameron boarded a Cessna 182 to experience true adventure of flight and became Young Eagles in the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association).
If you know Kaitlyn well, you know that she would love to be a pilot when she grows up.
They both are fearless....look at their faces...jubilation!
There they go!!!
They had about 30-40 minutes of flight time, flying over our house, and out to Brigham City.
They came back thrilled and got a certificate signed by Harrison Ford, who I guess is the chairman. Their name is now entered into the world's largest logbook at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
(Incidentally, the sun was VERY bright, resulting in Kaitlyn's teary eyes and scowl and mom just doesn't take pictures fast enough!)
PS- there was a short moment when the thought came to me that I had just sent 2/3 of my children up in the air with a complete stranger. He could have flown them to Timbuktu if he wanted! Those kids had a blast and I'm getting braver.....
