F 16 ride for Ian

Ian got to ride in an F16 yesterday! We are all so proud of him and his many accomplishments! He was supposed to have an hour and a half long flight.. but they had to emergency land when they hit a flock of birds!! Just my luck right.. he thought he was gonna die! Jets crash all the time due to birds, and it could have been fatal :( Thank God for looking out for him! He got to do a ton of cool barrel rolls and all sorts of sweet tricks, and got lots of pics and videos for memories! They flew over mt mckinly and that was really cool! Kenn watched his jet take off from the window of our house and was screaming.. "go daddy go!" It was really cute! Here she is loving up on mommy ;) Look how long her hair is getting!!
Here is Ian standing in front of the F16 right before take off.
Here he is getting cozy inside

Him in his gear!



Look how high up he was! AAHH i would die!






Cool sky shot.





Look at the cool mountains









Cool pic huh?!






He said he took this pic right after they hit the flock of birds cuz if he died he wanted a funny pic to be left behind.. he is such a little turd.. but i luv him!










Here he is wondering if they will be able to land or not..










Here is the crash and recovery team and fire department comming to rescue them!
