1000 hours in the T-6

I am sooooo proud of my husband. Not only has he pinned of LTC (pics of the ceremony to come), he has also reached 1000 hrs of flying time in the T-6. This is a huge accomplishment given that the average flying time for each flight is around 1.2 hrs. You do the math!!! Yep, that's alot of flights. We went to San Antonio last Thursday for John's pin on ceremony Friday. It just so happened to work out that that Friday he had 998.8 before his flight, so when he landed after a 1.5 hr flight my man went to 1000.3 hrs. YEEHAW!!!!!!! So we had a small ceremony at the hanger when he taxied in to celebrate. Johns parents also flew out there with us for all the festivities. I must say my husband amazes me everyday for his commitments to his country and our family. He takes such pride in both his jobs and even more pride in us. We couldn't ask for a more thoughtful, loving, and generous father and husband.
Thank you God for blessing us with such an outstanding man.

There's the big man!

He rcvd a patch for his flight suit that has a picture of the T-6 and says 1000 hrs and looks all cute and piloty. I was able to punch on his new patch.

We are so proud of him!

The boys are right at home with this airplane. Thank goodness they are so good to us that they allow the boys to look all around the plane. We did have to keep telling them not to get inside, there just wasn't anyone paying attention to them in the plane and the last thing we need is for the to pull the ejection pin.
