"best day ever!" (according to Tom)

Tom's wildest dreams came true on October 15th.  He booked a flight after he saw an advertisement for a club that takes people on flights in a B-17 aircraft circa 1945.  

When he was on the flight he sent me a text saying he was coming.  I waited outside to see him fly over.  It was so exciting to hear and see it coming.  I won't even mention my paranoid feelings I had about him flying in a 66 year old aircraft, and how being a widow would be a total bummer.
the view from our back yard was awesome!





 Here are the pictures from Tom's perspective.






 I don't think he liked this very much.

 Utah Lake
 He almost got a picture of our house, it's under the blade.


I don't think I have ever seen Tom so excited about anything, except the time when he came home from Alaska with 200 pounds of salmon.

the happy spectators
