Jaxon's first Air Show


Watching the Army Golden Knights parachute



We are standing in front of a T-6. This is the first plane Jason will fly at UPT. This particular plane was from Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, TX.

The sun, the heat, the excitement of airplanes...it was all too much for Jaxon and he fell asleep before the AF Thunderbirds took to the air.


Not that we need any more proof, but God works in wonderful and mysterious ways and He has always met us right where we needed Him. While Jaxon and I were waiting for Jason, Ouma, and Oupa to finish looking at the static displays we sat under the wing of a large aircraft for some shade. I overheard the girl next to me talking about moving from Mississippi. I interrupted her and asked where she lived. Columbus AFB!! Her husband just finished 3 1/2 years as an Instructor Pilot and now he is at Whiteman flying B-2's. They had been in Kansas City just about a month. What a connection! I, of course, asked her some questions about Jason's training and the hours he'll be away. And Jason was able to make a connection with her husband and ask him questions about the training process. God is so good! It was just another reassurance the He is in control and with us every step of the way.
