Cael's Ride with the Blue Angels



Hello all! Thought I would share the pics of Cael's ride with the Blue Angels and a little bit about his ride. He does not have the time to write this himself, so I am doing it for him! :) He got invited to ride with the Blue Angels in Davenport, IA, as part of an air show. I think he was really excited to go!

Cael said when they took off, the plane went straight up in the air--you can kind of tell that from one of the pictures. I kinda get sick thinking about it! :) The plane did all sorts of tricks, like flying close to the ground, going upside down, etc. They told Cael he needed to flex his toes and lower body so his blood would not rush into his lower body and make him pass out. Crazy!!

Cael said the only time he really felt queasy was near the end before they landed. But he assured me that if he were the pilot of that plane, a little queasiness would not keep him from taking out some terrorists. And thank goodness for that.

Does he get to do some awesome things or what?? :)
