On November 9th (Shayne's B-day) we went to Aviation nation at Nellis Air Force Base. Since Alyssa is in the Air Force we were able to go with David and drive onto the base instead of having to be shuttled from the raceway with everyone else. (Thank GOD!!). We all had a great day. We were able to go inside a satellite plane for the military (way cool and not somewhere you want to be for very long if you do not like tight spaces). We were able to watch the F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, P-52, C-17, Mig 21, C-130, Sky divers, Jet car and Mig race, The Netherlands Royal Air Force and also see the Thunderbirds. As you can see in the photos the grounds is wet (go figure, the one day you really want nice weather and it rained, and it only rains how often here in Las Vegas?). All in all the day was great. Loud VERY LOUD!!! The F-15 and F-22 are extremely loud and I do mean loud. I am so grateful Shayne and I had ear plugs.
