Off We Go...Into the Wild Blue Yonder!!

Hello United States Air Force. Most people probably don't know that one of my grandfathers was an airforce pilot. He was in the air fore for over 20 years if I remember correctly, but he flew in WWII and Korea. He was the real deal. He passed away one month before I turned eight, so it was a while ago. But he is a legend in my heart. He had a love for airplanes and this got passed down through the generations. My dad loves planes and was a pilot himself, and me and many of my siblings love planes and the Air Force and America because of my grandpa. :D My dad and I have a tradition of going up to the airshows at Hill Air Force Base and anyone else who wants to come is more than welcome to join. This last weekend, it was that time of year. We had a good time, we saw fighter jets, cargo planes, stunt planes, everything. I loved it. It was a beautiful day. I wasn't hot, but I was warm and got some sunshine on my skin. I didn't get to see the Thunderbirds, which I love, but I did get to see my favorite stunt pilot twice in one day AND I got to meet him!! His name is Sean D. Tucker, he's amazing. He has accomplished so much including becoming a member of the Aerospace hall of fame. Check him out. Anyways, it was a blast to watch all the different planes and to be with part of my family.


Me and Rylee Jo, She loved the airplanes.
This plane is HUGE!! Where's Waldo? I'm under the inside prop with
my arms above my head in a white t-shirt, just so you can see how big this plane is.
Dad, Melanie, Josh, Rylee, Me, Vicki, and Logan,
the crew that went up for the day.
Me and Sean D. Tucker with his custom plane, so cool.
