Last weekend!
Was the local Air Show which was truly an amazing time for me and my family. I have volunteered every year for the past 9 years. I have enjoyed every moment that I have spent there. I have met some amazing people and have seen some amazing sights. My Son's Father first took me to the Air Show before we got married, in fact it was the year 1992. I will never forget it. Because it was also the last time a Harrier Jet was at the air show and after the show was over, on that Monday the Harrier Jet crashed off the runway killing pilot. So it was a bittersweet weekend when we had a Harrier Jet come back. I filmed it all. It was awesome. If you have never seen it. Its a fighter jet that can take off like a helicopter and then fly off like a jet. Its really super neat.
Well this year, I worked the Blue Angels Chalet again. I did it last year too! Since we are moving to another state I knew that I wanted to make my last year here great. So I spoke with the person in charge and she mentioned that I stay for the pilot signing and party. So we did. Little did I know that the pilots who actually fly the Blue Angels would be in attendance and would be socialable with everyone that attended.
It was a somber night for me cause my Son is leaving for AZ in less than two weeks. SO I wanted him to have a awesome time. He got to meet the Pilot of the Number 1 Blue Angel. Commander Greg McWherter ...I have a picture of him with him as well. It meant the world to me for him to have this opportunity to have dinner with the Pilots and to enjoy a special show. I will cherish this moment forever. As my Son just turned 12, he's at that tender age of becoming himself and becoming who he is.
