Grandma BoBo and Papa John were able to come and visit us for a few days. Scott was able to arrange a T6 simulator spot while they were here. The T6 is the trainer airplane that the Navy uses to teach student pilots. I had never seen the simulator before. It was so cool!
Here is how they look from the outside; ominous grey and black canisters.
Ground School and a Pre fight in 15 mins...
Bo ready for take off!!!
I think it is pretty amazing since they had a near death experience flying from San Antonio to Pensacola in a violent thunderstorm. We offered to simulate that, but she was not amused.
Flying over the bay and looking out into the gulf!
Bo landed the plane like a pro! You can see the runway in front of the cockpit.
Papa John ready to take the T6 for a whirl...
Like he had been doing it his whole life...
Crazy Cockpit!
Getting ready to land...
Bo was thrilled to earn her Wings of Gold!
As was John!
A great time was had by all!
