I never thought in a million years I'd be an Air Force wife, and what's more I never would have thought I'd like it!
We live on a training base for Air Force pilots. Once a year they have a career day for the student pilots. They bring in as many Air Force planes as they can and let you walk through them, or look into them, whatever the case may be, and the pilots answer any questions you may have.
I felt like such a loser pilot wife because I was so excited to see all the planes and get pictures. I am amazed that I have been sucked into this world of aviation and I actually find it interesting. I've become one of those wives whose husband's life has become her life. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, right?
Anyway, I am just amazed at my genuine interest and excitement over the world of aviation and grateful for the opportunity to learn and experience things I never thought I would. Who knew I would ever find myself explaining to a new student pilot what winglets are!
This is the T-38. This is the plane Kevin is currently flying. The T-38 is a fighter/bomber training plane.
Mags and Cora were so excited to see the T-38 up close. Aren't they adorable!?

Aah the C-17. If it's possible to have sentimental feelings about an aircraft, then this is it for me. Kevin logged about 1500 hours as a loadmaster on the C-17 and I logged about 2 during a spouses flight. I take pride in the fact that on the spouse flight we flew with the back open which was something Kevin never got to do since he wasn't airdrop qualified.
P.S. Those little tips on the end of the wings are called winglets.

Okay, so this doesn't have much plane in it, but the girls were cracking me up living it up inside this posh jet. It is the PC-12. .

You're a much better pilot's wife than me, we didn't take nearly as many pictures. Your girls were very cute on Halloween and the Sepia pics in the cotton bin are darling!
When are you guys coming to Vegas to fly with the Thunderbirds??? I'd love that! And your girls are so big that they make me envious that they're not in diapers like mine!!! But little Cooper will be here soon enough so you can join that wonderful world again =o) Congrats!!
