Airshow

Yesterday we went to the Joint Service Open House at Andrews Air Force Base. It was a beautiful day, and just a little cool in the morning - perfect for walking around on the tarmac where it gets hot pretty quickly. Mimi and Grandpa came too, which which was fun because I remember going with them when I was Jake's age (or maybe a little older).

Here's Jake at the controls of a helicopter:

I'm pretty sure he adjusted every dial and switch, so hopefully the real pilots check everything before they fire up the engines.

And here's Sadie checking out the rotors:


They have all services represented here, and you'd need to stay longer than we did to see everything. It's pretty impressive. This is a picture of Jake in some SCUBA gear at the Navy deep sea diving and bomb squad booth:
