Bombers By My House

I am rather excited. I was looking at this website for this little airport that is by my house and they have these two little planes there through tomorrow. My wee little one saw them and is pretty excited to go! She has become increasingly interested in planes over the last few months.

THL, ask her if she wants to be a pilot. She may be a budding lady Stealth Bomber pilot someday.

As we were going through the 1st one she did get a little mad. She was stopped by the ropes and yelled "But I want to drive it!!"

In the last picture I asked her what she was aiming at and she asked if I thought she could shoot "that other plane over there." At least she has the right idea.

So the first one was the B17. When we got there the B24 was leaving but I could not get my camera out in time. I was able to get some pictures of it coming back in later on though.

Cute kid THL.

I went through that B-17 a few years back in Alaska.

Your little one almost looks like she could fit in the belly turret.

She's obviously decided to be a waist gunner.


She definitely has THL's eyes and her smile.
