Aviation Nation 2017

Matt took Claire and Miles to Aviation Nation, the airshow out at Nellis Air Force Base. This year, Betty and Phil went as well and helped get everyone on base which was much easier than the shuttle and the lines that they experienced the last time they attended.

I stayed home with the littles because the "sound of freedom" aka jet noise - gets to be a bit too much for Penelope and I was sure Henry wouldn't last long out there.

They had a lot of fun though and got to meet some amazing pilots and engineers. Claire also interviewed Papa along the way for her Veteran's Day essay. Matt got to see his favorite plane, the Spectre - their motto is "You can run but you'll die tired!" They saw a lot of cool planes, many with  with Vegas Strong on them to honor the Route 91 shooting victims.
