Finn loves loud planes

It may be hard to tell in this picture, but if you click on it to expand it, then you will see three F-22's taxiing for take-off. Finn's favorite activity during our stay at Langley was watching the planes take-off and land. This picture was taken during a walk around the base.

The noise from the engines forced us to cover his delicate boy-ears when they flew overhead. No one was there to cover my ears at work where I heard them constantly roaring overhead. I'm sure Finn is very jealous.

It is a little different than up in Dayton where an e-mail alert was sent out because an F-22 would be coming in to practice a fly-by for an airshow. Admittedly the F-22 is more exciting to watch than the C-5's they have in Dayton. Not to mention that the two F119 engines are more powerful and louder than all four of the C-5's TF39 combined.

Did you see all the cool jets flying around when you were on base today? Rowan and I saw quite a few fly over the house today (I don't know what kind they were though). Although it's possible they were coming from the Air National Guard Base in Springfield...
