The Awesomest Airplane Ever, According To Brian

Warning: A photo of the F-22 Raptor is on this page. Apparently there is some significance to the fact that my husband and kids are this close to the classified technology. According to Wikipedia, this plane cost $137.5 million. This very plane. We had to get special clearance to cross the guarded barriers to stand near the aircraft.

Grandpa lifting Brian (heavy!) to look into the jet of a big plane... Brian's eyes were huge during much of the day as he tried to take it all in...

Abby on her perch... Dad's head made a great elbow-rest as she watched the show through Chris' binocs. I really don't know if she had the glasses focused at all or if they were just kind of fuzzy-blur viewfinders. Either way, she had the best seat in the house.
