*** To clarify because so many have asked:
Todd did a golf clinic for Hill Air Force Base and this was their form of payment.
It was originally offered to his Dad but his Dad has done it before so he let Todd do it.
He had to be at the base at 10 am for 7 hours of instruction before he got to fly
And yes, he had a co-pilot in there with him
But the pilot let him take the controls for 15- 20 minutes...Todd's favorite part
And it cost $50,000 for him to fly it that ONE day! Wow!***

This is how we were transported around on the base...
This truck had the back cut out and the double stroller fit in just right:

She wasn't so sure about the ear plugs:
I put the molding type of ear plugs in Jane's ears and used her hat to hold them in place:

That is so cool! How fun for Todd (& for you guys that you got to witness it!) How many more days til our trip??? I'm READY!
what!!! how did he get to do that?
O.K. that is awesome, but...You can't just post something like that out of the blue and not explain how or when or why you got to do that. We need an explanation here. Do you just call the base and ask for a ride?
Oh, I really shouldn't show this entry to Rob...he's going to be SO jealous!
how exciting!
Did you go too fast to see where the ducks were hanging out on the Great Salt Lake?
