2008 Air Show

This is the third time that we have taken Drew to the air show and yes he is only 3 1/2. Kelli went out of town to help out her mom with a craft show so Grandpa Karl, Drew and I went down to Nelli AFB, Las Vegas to the show.

The usaf established the heritage flight program in 1997 to support the Air Force 50th anniversary. The exhibition features today's state-of-the-art fighters flying in close formation with World War ll and Korean War vintage fighters, such as the F-22, F-15e and the P-51

We had a great time, the weather was perfect and the food cost a small fortune but all in all we had fun.

The Show looked great and Drew is just born to be in the air.
Some day we will get to attend with all of you.

It sounds like you have started a tradition:) It looks like Drew had a great time but what about his dad? I enjoyed the picture lesson about the different aircraft - thanks.

You need to bring Drewie to NYC when he is older and take him to the USS Intrepid. LOTS of planes there, including the Concorde.

Hey it looks like you guys had a great time.....you are such a good dad. I can't believe how big Drew is already. Charley is also growing to fast. I want to freeze time so that she can stay this age forever. Being a parent is the greatest thing ever.
