Future pilot!

14 years ago today I became a mother for the first time! Mother to a beautiful baby boy that looked just like me!

I can't believe that next year I'm going to have a high schooler! Aaack!

Ray and I have been super excited for this birthday for months, back when we bought him his big gift.

Now you know Mondo is a huge military fan. The boy can tell you anything about World War 2, and he can tell you what any military vehicle, plane, or weapon is. I've known since he was a toddler that I was going to have a military son. It excites me and scares me to death at the same time!

So for his birthday we got him in to a flight simulator of an F16 fighter jet.

Lets just say he was in heaven!

Being briefed!

Getting set up

Double checking systems.

Ground control ready!

A near perfect take off,

with total concentration!

This place was amazing. It had a room with TV's so we could see his flight, and also hear them talking back and forth with ground control.

This first video is of him and what he see's. Sorry its super dark. The second video is in the viewing room of his near perfect landing. Mondo is 301 when you hear ground control talking.

He made it back in one piece

Congratulations on a great flight!

Happy Happy birthday to my first born, still my baby boy Mondo!!
