History Repeats Itself

Ever since Josh & I have been married there have been the annual trips to the Reno Air Races. This event is a whole lot of airplanes. The most exciting thing at Reno are the actual races which involve WWII planes that have been completely modified to fly like 500 MPH. (Josh can give you the actual speeds and explain it all so it seems as though he is speaking a foreign language, but it's really just Airplane Jive).

I went one year and have forfeited the "opportunity" to return in order to stay home with the baby. (These pictures are from the year I went). Anyway, Damon is hooked and Joel is close behind the "Airplane Addict" group, which really involves any male with the last name "Hunsaker."

Now the Reno Air Races are not enough.

Josh's dad use to fly for the State Police and has been wanting to get back in the pilot's seat for a while. Why not make it a family affair? For the past few months, Josh has been taking ground school to become a PILOT. He recently was passed off to Solo which means he can fly without the instructor anymore. On Tuesday he took the written FAA test and passed! (I have been calling it the FFA, which Josh has to correct me. He is not taking classes to become a Future Farmer of America). Now he just has to fly some cross countries and he will have his Private Pilots License.

So history repeats itself. From Jon to Josh. Give us a few years and Damon will be after his Pilots License!
