What a fun day at the Lunken Airport Days! Thankfully a mom in my mom's group posted about this event, otherwise I would have had no idea about it. The kids had a blast! And it was a perfect thing to do today with Brad leaving us again for work. The kids got to sit inside airplanes, go up in the control tower, ask all sorts of questions and even see the Color Guard and sing the National Anthem. It was quite the experience. The blimp was there, it even took off but we didn't see it land. The WWII veteran B-17 bomber, the "Aluminum Overcast" was very impressive. We got to see that take off and land twice. Jonathan also noticed this radio looking thing from a far distance and asked to go over there. He then asked me if he could ask the military men holding it questions and I said sure. So he asked what it was. The guy very thoroughly explained that each plane has a "black box" and this device was used to track and find it. The Captain overheard Jonathan and turned to me and said, "Very good question." By the end of the explanation, Jonathan had a crowd listening. I love this kid! He has no fear of asking questions or talking to adults. Jonathan was very into the event and has already said he wants to go with Auntie Heidi next year to her airshow.
