Grant's Jet Flight

On Friday, Grant and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary (Yeah!!!). As part of my gift to him, I scheduled a jet flight that his parents had gotten him several years ago but that he had never done. So on Saturday, we packed up the family and went up to March Air Reserve Base and met Captain Doug Gilliss for Grant's flight. He was such a nice man and allowed us to take lots of pictures on his plane. I bribed Nicky with a cookie to climb into the pilot's seat for pictures and as soon as we got him in there, he yelled out, "What's that smell? That smells aweful!" I was so embarrassed but once I climbed in there myself, I realized it truly did smell aweful. Not sure what that was all about, but I couldn't help but laugh at his honesty. So, Grant went on his flight and had a great time. He got to hit 4 Gs and got to spin the plane a couple of times by himself. Here are some pics...
