Aviation Nation 2011

-
Sorry for the serious neglect around this little corner of the internettubes.  I have been appearing more over on my facebook account because it's cheap and easy, just like I am!

Hey-ooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

My Navy buddy Russ and I made our 3rd trip out to Vegas and Nellis AFB to attend Aviation Nation last weekend.  It was excellent as usual, and here is a collection of stills  for you to peruse.

I was going to post some videos that I took, but they kind of suck.  I found some that more professional folks than me took, which are a lot better.

    Agree with So.Cal.Gal!

    Also, does anybody else want to say "NNEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWW DAGGA DAGGA DAGGA!" when looking at these pics?

    No? Just me then.

    Mind you, I do that when I look at all photos. Landscapes, wildlife, portraits ""NNEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWW DAGGA DAGGA DAGGA!".

    Your blog just ate my very witty comment! WTF?

    OK it was lame but still. Dude!

    I just said I'm jealous of your desert and plane trip, The Jules is high (paramedics have drugs!) and that I've also stood next to a tool. Now I'm going over here to sulk.

    OMG! A Stealth bomber! I've only seen one on fly-by once.
    And I"ve never seen a B-1, that's got to be one of the more beautiful pieces of machinery I've ever seen. I have no problem living vicariously through you. :)

Handicapped Assessable. What does it mean to you? We have seen some pretty poor modifications in our time of pushing Skyler around, but absolutely nothing that compares to this series of pictures from overseas. I will never complain again! (well, yes I will, but only when I really need to...)

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
