We went on a tour of the USS Midway today with Grandpa, Uncle Derek, Aunt Shelly, and Dean. This was special because grandpa flew F-8s off two different aircraft carriers during the Vietnam War. He was on the USS Bonne Homme Richard (the 'Bonnie-Dick'), and the Hancock. It is very interesting to hear all the first-hand details about the carrier and all the planes...
Here we are all posing in front of an F-8, just like the ones dad flew.
We got a chance to sit in a trainer jet. This was the first plane that dad flew right out of school!
After the Midway we had a quick bite in Seaport Village. Kaylee really enjoyed sitting with grandpa...and Kendall and Dean had a blast chasing the pigeons around at top-speed!
Happy Birthday/Father's Day, Dad! We love you.
