Andrew's F-15 Fini Flight

Today was Andrew's last flight in the F-15 Eagle and he had a great day and I think enjoyed it.  I overheard him say that he only cried for the first 10 minutes and then decided just to have some fun while it lasted!  Okay, maybe I made that up, but I do think that Andrew will miss the jet (his other wife, maybe even his first one if I am honest with myself as he did "meet" her first) and we will both miss the wonderful community.  We do know, though, that the F-22 community will be just as wonderful and we are looking forward to what lies ahead of us.  We are happy to be staying here in Vegas for another 3 years and watching Weston grow as Andrew learns his 3rd wife--finally, I came before this jet--the F-22!  :)  Here are some photos (thanks to our photographer, Hope):

Weston and I waiting for Andrew to taxi in...notice the ear protectors that are sticking up from W's head.

Here comes Andrew.

Last time we will be seeing him sitting in that spot.

Dutiful wife and baby wait patiently.

The traditional spray down--was a little difficult to join in this time with a baby attached to me.

Andrew will take that...

Some of the 422 fellows--oh and Ripper, too!  :)

Andrew's flying buddies for the day--Schlem and Hoss.

Drowning his sorrows?!?

Scott "Schlem" Prom is also leaving the Eagle community and heading to the Duluth Guard to fly F-16s, kind of nice that two Minnesota boys got to enjoy their last Eagle ride together!

Weston very proud of his dad--he's even sporting a onesie that says "Daddy's Little Wingman" and has an image from Top Gun (yes, I realize Top Gun was about the Navy...)

Family shot--it was a bit windy.

Squished face all the way--check out that triple chin!
