Blackhawk

At the last minute Sunday...as in at the end of worship service...we found out we were able to do something unexpected and that we likely won't ever be able to do again. We drove near the airport and were able to see and sit in a Blackhawk helicopter. Pretty neat!

We took turns sitting inside the helicopter. This was one of several available to the President.

Major was really pumped. This is a true boy - in to planes and cars, etc.

No problems getting a "cheese" here!
Ella Grace wasn't quite so sure. We couldn't get this girl to smile! One day she will realize how big of a deal this really was!
It was difficult for me to even straddle the controls in the middle! (And, yes, I had to take a turn too!)
This is the Presidential seal. It is actually on a removable panel in case the VP were in it, rather than the President. We were also able to sit in the cabin area where the President, his wife and staff sit. Small quarters!


Isn't that awesome!?
