You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.

Thank God this guy wasn’t elected president.

Today I drove down to Seymour Johnson AFB with Megan and Brett for my first military air show. Justin totally missed out as his flight won’t return until tomorrow.

Here’s a few shots as teasers. We didn’t stay for the Thunderbird show, and I think the Raptor was a no show.

C5 at the gate..

Uppity C5..

Formation Flying..

Moi..Mustang..;)

F15 Flightline..

Pardon the dudes head; I just snapped a picture real fast..

Again some ‘formation’ flying - these pilots were very comfortable with close quarters. Along with banking the big birds at a full 90 degrees

Thats all for now; I may post more down the road. In other news, the Moore’s fly back tomorrow and tonight Erebos died :(. RIP Erebos.

As most of you probably know I was involved in a fairly high speed wreck back on the first of September. I blogged all the unsolicited ‘personal injury’ mail I received but I never got around to posting pictures of the damage to my 4Runner.

So here you go;

A few days after 1 September

My ‘rental’..great on gas and quite the smooth ride for a qausi ZZ-Top Auto

And the finished product. The paint on the rear door is original, everything else is fresh. Beyond that slightly “shinier” look you can’t really tell the difference. Bland and Newsome does excellent work!

In other news; I finished my physical therapy regiment last week and am basically on my own right now to get myself into shape and shoot for BLET again.  We’ll see…

Make sure you check wantmoore.com for updates (by me, per them) on Bonnie and Justin in Russia; theres very little there right now on the trip as I’m still awaiting their first mission update. (plug: trans-atlantic elbow nudge to the Moores).

And thanks to Megan for helping me pick up my car tonight, I’m sorry I made you late to your meeting
