Aidan and I went to Columbus, OH this past weekend to see an airshow. This was a big deal. They had over 100 P-51s gathered. The first and last time they did it was back in 1999, so it was a real treat to have it so close to us. Aidan has a picture of 2 P-51s on his wall that my Uncle Darren gave him. He thought it was fun to see a ton of the airplanes he has a picture of in his bedroom.The thing about P-51s is the sound they make. The engines make a distinct sound that every aviation enthusiast absolutely loves. I have seen 2 do a low pass at high speed before, but the day we went they had 20 do a low pass in formation. The sound they all made was amazing. The last time that was heard was over Germany some 60+ years ago. It was fun to take Aidan. He loves to be around airplanes almost as much as I do.
We saw the Thunderbirds routine right as we showed up to the airport. His head was on a swivel and tried to follow those F-16s as long as he could. There were some Military cargo planes that we got to crawl through. Aidan thought that was so cool to be in an "Army Airplane" (he wants to be a soldier for Halloween). They also had on display some Jeeps, tanks, and amphibious vehicles from WW2. Aidan wanted his picture with all the Army jeeps, but especially the tank. It is sure fun to have a mini-me. We even put in Return of the Jedi for the trip home. The kid has taste, what can I say. I love that kid.
Ryan the blogger, or if you prefer Ryan-the one who blogs,either will suffice

Mike would give anything to have a Mini-mike. How did you do that? Aidan loves cars and planes just like YOU. But what fun you will have as he grows up......sharing things that you both love.
The pictures are great. He's such a cute kid.
Thanks for blogging, Ryan.
Dear Blogger or Bloggee or Bloggmeister..How exciting to see all those wonderful old planes. I used to love to go to the air shows. Dad would take us on the base for Air Force Day and we'd get to see the Blue Angels perform. In fact Analee and Leslie went with me once. It was so fun because we were really close to the runway. That day we got to see the Stealth Bomber. It was pretty cool. Hey, I really think there is some brainwashing going on with my grandson! Is that a punishable offence. Love you guys...both tall and short. MOM
I am impressed with your blogging skills. I wish I had a mini me. Carissa may be it. She definitely as close as I am going to get. Jeff says Blake is just like me, it doesn't work that way though. That is so awesome that you got to go to such a great show.
