Tonight we were invited by a colleague at work to see her son and several other pilots land four U.S. Marine Corps AH-1 Super Cobra helicopters at one of the airports in town. It was really neat! Several of us from work grabbed our kids to view the landing, meet the pilots (including her son) and even get an up close and personal view of the "copters."
Jacob and Josh were pretty fascinated by the whole ordeal. We got to see where the helicopters hold the missiles. Then, we were told that the helicopters are painted a grayish-blue so they will blend into the skyline when flying over enemy territory. Jacob kept asking me where the "bad guys are..." That was a little hard to explain.
Thanks to our friends at work for sharing a neat and patriotic experience with us. Go U.S.A!
p.s. - In case you were wondering, yes. It is hot on an airport tarmac in 103 degree heat. We were sweating up a storm! After these photos, we immediately went home and the whole family jumped in the pool. Ahhhh.

You don't want to know where the bad guys are Jacob!! They look so cute in the pilots seats!!! Thankfully it's a long way off before they can even consider flying ANYTHING! Stay young for a while guys! Love and Hugs!!
