On Saturday we went to the Air Force Academy Visitors Centre. Mainly because Mick wanted to see the B52D on stilts. There wasn't a real lot to see there but it was very interesting. We watched a 14 minute film on the life of a cadet. (And then on Sunday at Church the 1st speaker was actually a cadet - what a coincidence! It made it very interesting though). It was quite cold again but the kids enjoyed wearing their new winter clothes!
Mick really just wanted to get in this fighter jet and did a good job to control his excitement. For those of you who may not know, Mick really wanted to be a fighter pilot in his younger years and had a very big passion for all things 'plane'. He changed his mind about the Air Force when he realised he would have to move around, and becoming a doctor really just happened because he didn't know what else to do!
Laura and Mark checking out the world map of which has a pin for each Cadet and where they are from... there was even one from Afghanistan!
Emily and Lani really just wanted to play in the snow all day every day!!!
And here it is... the B52D - the main American bomber used during the 1950's to the early 1990's. The wing span was huge.
The girls found the snow more interesting - once again!

I don't know who and/or why anyone would wan tto fly for 16 hrs and then go and look at MORE planes, didn't you look at them at the airport?? ha ha ha - JK! Glad Mick got to see this. I guess he was loving life right then!
so does that mean that Mick could have been living in Colorado and flying planes?
