The Flying Aggies

Saturday morning we took the boys to watch the Flying Aggies during their annual bomb drop, which involves bags of flour and duck tape, not explosives. Although we were only spectators, you can pay to fly with a Flying Aggie and drop a "bomb" at a target on the runway. Drops are measured and whoever is closest to the target at the end of the event, WINS. It's a great opportunity to see lots of takeoffs and landings...Sam went crazy and did a happy dance for each and every plane.
 
Sam's happy face after learning we were going to see airplanes. The boy is obsessed with air craft. He carries a toy airplane with him practically everywhere he goes.

 
They've spotted the first plane...






 
Would you pay good money to go up in this?
















 
Watching a drop from the runway...it was a close one!




 
Thank you, Flying Aggies, for making our morning spectacular! It's all we'll hear about for the next month, guaranteed.
