Helicopters!


Since early on in her childhood, Jadyn has been fascinated with aircraft. She can spot them at night and even catch them before Amanda and I see them. We're not sure when this started, but we don't live that far from an airport and can see planes taking off and landing and we took her to an air show when she was about seven months old. So maybe the comAdd Imagebination's what did it.
Anyway, on May 15, I went to see off some folks taking off from the nearby airport who were leaving on three helicopters bound for Camp Shelby, Miss. as part of a program to take employers to see Guardsmen in pre-deployment training at the facility.
I took Jadyn along. We still talk about it some and she still seems to think it was a cool thing to see.
But the fascination is such that we wonder if she'll be a pilot or even an aeronautical engineer. We hope to help create an environment for her where she'll feel free to pursue such interests.
