Dad's Incentive Flight, Snowbird '06

Like I said before, these pictures are not in chronological order. For this, I apologize. But, I thought that our son would like to see me flying one of our F-16's back in Janurary 2006. So here they are...


Here I am with my pilot, "Stinky". This probably doesn't show it, but I am nervous as hell! I also might add that I worked 12 hours the night before and know I am getting into a jet for the first time!

Here I am being strapped in and doing my pre-flight checks. I have never been so nervious. All in all, this was one of the best experiences I have ever had.


Here is a picture of the men and women I worked with during our stay. We all had a wonderful time and this was a deployment I was actually looking forward too! As Katie can tell you, I did not sleep the night before because I was so excitied. Hopefully some time I will be able to go back.
