This weekend, History Flight was here in Blacksburg with three planes, two T-6 Texans and a Stearman biplane. Amalia and I ditched out on daycare/work early and rode our bike out on Friday afternoon to check them out. As the pilots were doing some basic maintenance, they were happy to let us walk around the planes and check them out. Amalia was extremely excited, so they let her sit in the cockpit of the Stearman. That was fun! After she was done, she said "Okay, your turn daddy!" I'm only sitting in the cockpit if I am flying and it was too expensive for my taste. We went back both Saturday and Sunday afternoons and watched the planes fly. Sunday was pretty impressive because we sat at the end of the runway and watched one of the Texans land right over us. Good stuff.
