A New Old Honda
Here’s Kev’s new ride, a cherry 1982 Honda VF45 Sabre. It will make his commute more fun and cheaper.
Sunny Day at the Beach
It’s not exactly San Diego but it was warm and sunny and we Jen, John and I were joined by Angie, Tristan and Landon for a hike to the beach at Kincaid. Ginger and Charlie had a great romp, too.
Arctic Thunder at Elmendorf AFB
The last Saturday in June we spent the day at Arctic Thunder, the air show at Elmendorf Air Force Base. It was a fantastic time! Lots of aerial displays by military and civilian aircraft. Plenty of static displays to walk through.
The most impressive demonstration was the F-22. It was amazing to see the things that aircraft can do. The F-22 show concluded with a tribute to veterans in a fly-by with a P-51 Mustang, the WWII fighter plane. It was a very emotional moment.
Alaska Aviation Trade Show this Weekend
We were part of a surprisingly large crowd this sunny morning at the Aviation Trade Show in the FedEx Hangar. Lots of airplane doodads, displays, and real live aircraft to check out.
Cool little helicopter.
This is the ‘Pinnochio’ owned by the Feds.
Me in the cockpit of a FedEx MD-11. Our friend Marty Olsen flies these.
Spent a couple hours at the show then off to John’s basketball game which they won in overtime.
Finals Week
School’s out for Kyle. He finished his last final for the year at UAA Thursday evening and is very glad for summer.
